Details:
I am a singer songwriter that writes, records and produces my own music. I play all of the instruments and perform all of the vocals. I would describe my music as a rock/alternative and singer songwriter genre blend. I combine a blend of electric and acoustic guitar playing along with vocals and other instrumentation as desired that represents a unique style of songwriting. The song is the focal point.

Having the convenience of a home studio gives me the freedom to create music at the moment of inspiration. As an independent musician I have embraced the technology of the 21st century to help me in the creative process of songwriting. The recording process is still pretty much the same as it has been for the last few decades. The thing that has changed about the process is the equipment used. We have seen the jump from analog tape to the digital audio workstation. Where racks of outboard gear used to be the norm , many have been replaced with digital software plug ins that deliver the same processing power in a virtual digital format. It truly is exciting where the music making process is headed.


Some of the guitars I use are a 2010 Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro Gold Top, 1987 Ibanez JEM 777, 1981 Ibanez Destroyer II, Mid 70's Vantage guitar, 1997 Taylor 410 acoustic, mid 70's Sanchez classical and an Ibanez Soundsear bass guitar.

My amp choice is simple. I use a couple of Marshall JCM 800 2204 amp heads along with a 1960 A and 1960 B cabinets. The sound of a tube amp is unrivaled. These amps rock.

I record in a Pro Tools environment and use a variety of different plug ins. I record with a variety of different microphones. Neumann,Shure and Samson microphones round out the choices of microphones used.

I use a vintage 80's Tama Swingstar drum set along with some sweet Zildjian cymbals from the same era for the percussion.
