| ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: | |
|
My influences are numerous and include such diverse artists as: Yngwie Malmsteen - Incubus - Blue Oyster Cult - Igor Stravinski - The Cars - Devo - Iron Maiden - Tori Amos - Gary Numan - Kitaro - Queensryche - Fates Warning - R. Carlos Nakai - Joe Satriani - Steve Vai - Willie Nelson - Ozric Tentacles & Megadeth. I am also deeply influenced by authors Carlos Castaneda - Louis L'Amour - Ed Abbey - Roger Zelazny - H. P. Lovecraft and Ed 'Eagle Man' McGaa. As well as the living planet and its sociopolitical goings on. I have been playing guitar and writing music since the late seventies when, shortly after being turned onto KISS, my brother Ron introduced me to the electric guitar. The rest as they say is history. After doing stints with the cover bands FUTURE TENSE and FRACTURED MIRROR during the early 80's. I moved to Salt Lake City in 1986 and formed the all original Progressive metal band TYRANNY SHIFT. Frustrated over the lack of suitable vocalists in Salt lake, we disbanded in 1988. For the next couple years I honed my skills as a solo artist, forced myself to take on the vocal role and played in the improvisational Avante Garde bands W.D.C. and DARK MATTER. In 1990 I moved to Phoenix Arizona and began my current musical journey which is the fusion of Rock and Metal guitar songs with New Wave and Cinematic synth stylings. I further compliment my music with the occasional foray into open chording groove rock. In recent years I have done session work with songwriter Jerod Stutsman and the band MOST FALLEN, written and recorded a short play album of Instrumental soundtracks titled CINEMA VOL. 1, performed solo gigs at Salt Lake's DEADGOAT SALOON opening for the WEED and I continue to do improv & experimental jams whenever the opportunity arises. My latest album IN CLOSURE runs the gamut from Metal to Folk to Industrial, all the while maintaining a consistent vibe. I reside in Salt Lake City, Utah and I'm a disciple of the Southern and Central Utah Deserts. I am currently rehearsing for live shows and writing material for a late Summer '03 release. |
