I am one of the hardest working independent musicians/writers on the West Coast, and I am raising funds to keep the production company up and running with emergence funding needed.
I am a West Coast guitar player, song writer, producer, and I grew in in Southern California, the son of a musician & writer. Growing up in the Hollywood, Bay Area, Sacramento, and Seattle music scenes, gave me a well rounded sound, for hybrid style rock & hard rock albums. Each city's music scene provided different major learning opportunities, both live & in the studio, leading to the sound developed in Seattle and how that has grown since.
I worked in big studios along the way, including Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, and learned from some very talented people, taking the knowledge into my independent career as a guitar player, writer, bass player, harmony vocalist, lyricist, engineer & producer, to create my sound, that is real deal, organic rock albums, with deep groove, genuine soul, and raw expressive performances!
The albums have a deep positive vibe, with big grooves, and a mix of rock, hard rock, blues, funk, grunge, and more, mixed in a musical and soulful delivery with cool edge! With its mix of early 70’s blues rock, hot rodded with 80’s Hard Rock & 90’s Hard Rock, and Grunge, with a little Metal give it nice kick!
You know me, in this for the right reasons, and all in to make a difference! For the music and the musical community with the sparks that are generated every step of the way! If you know any cool people that can dig it, I’m determined and bringing cool live band next!! New studio album and live album in the works as well!!
Depth, and making your individual difference on whatever scale you can, adds up when we all find ways to make our unique difference in the world! Artists & musicians with purpose, are what we need, not ego stars. We need artists and bands that are great at bringing people together, and that can actually write great albums, since this is music not modeling!
Do nothing and guarantee not making a difference, or be part of the action, that can create ripples that become a spark to something bigger!
I have 3 very strong albums out, with a new studio album ready to go into production, along with a live band & live album I'm working on my rig for, once we can get this all back up and running! Too many amazing things are clicking right now on the music side, when there is a need for real music, and I won't let this ossicle stop me, but it is a problem we need help overcoming so we can keep going!
The budget is for crucial gear, and production costs that have become an emergency situation, which we are working non stop to be able to continue! This is a crucial time, when things are going so well musically, it's time to keep pushing forward with zero quit!
We aren't into handouts, we actually want to make a difference, and even without the big labels, we can do big things! With just enough to get it all back up and running, on the track, your support makes a major life difference to us and everyone we affect!
This is music & it is an art form that deserves better than where it's at, and we are doing our part!!
If you have read this far I appreciate you interest & appreciation for the arts, and whether or not you decide to help by contributing, I want to say thank you regardless, for for your consideration! Have a great day everyone!
