Bio:

"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosphy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents." - Ludwig van Beethoven

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S. Thompson

Playing drums and percussion Philly/NY and beyond. I compose music traditionally and I produce as well. I am truly fortunate to be workin with many great minds and have a good span of stuff bubblin. I love what I do and what you hear above and see below is bits of just that. Some tracks are live, Some produced, Some me playing on other peoples records.

Came up with my homies in Subliminal Orphans (w tuphace!)- a hip hop fusion of sorts since 2002 playing shows from Philly and nationally, shows w K-OS, toured w/ Cypress Hill, scored a huge hip-hopera. Now on indefinite hiatus, working closely w Tuphace and Orphans crew on various projects. Grinded w "Universal recording artist and jazz cheantuse" Melody Gardot since the inception of her sound and career. On both her major label albums, toured w her and her band for 3 years.

Currently playing mainly with Jef Lee Johnson, The Blue Method, and Tigersapien. Also backing tuphace, jazz and Brazilian gigs and backing and singer/songwriters. Producing for Melody Gardot, Kuf Knotts, Nicole Tranquillo, The keen one, Tigersapien.

If music expresses, feels good, is enjoyable to create and equally enjoyable to experience, then whatever the genre, its doing something right. We are amidst a grand fusion of cross-genres and production techniques. So much has been done before; Let us be influenced by the masters before us, embrace the rampidity of technology and create beautifully in the now.
