I grew up listening to motown and r&b, and after hearing what James
Jamerson did with
the bass on those old motown hits - I knew that was the
instrument I wanted to play. My
musical taste is quite diverse - everything from rock'n'roll to swing to funk to bluegrass - so
I
have to say I draw musical
inspiration from good songs of any style.
Originally living in
San Francisco I played live and did studio work up
and down the northern
California coast. To increase the number of gigs and
studio sessions, as well as increase my
musical aptitude, I began playing the
upright bass in 1998.
I moved to Greenville S.C in mid 2002, where I played live and recorded with Hannibal Jones
before joining
The Oath / Party Of Four. The reason
I
play music is simply because I love
it...it's a form of meditation and a high
which helps keep me sane (relatively) and I'll be doing it
in some form or
other 'til i can do it no more!!!
