     Thanks for stopping by! I've put up this website just to give people a little more info about me and what I'm up to.

     2012 was one of my busiest years music-wise, and so far 2013 has proven to be just as good.

     The studio has occupied much of my time this year, with some really fun projects. I just recorded an album with guitarist Jeff Golub, and the rhythm section was rounded out by drummer Steve Ferrone and keyboardist Brian Auger. Man, that was a fun one... the album will be released sometime this summer. I've also done a couple records with some independent artists, I'll have those up on my discography page as soon as they're released. Aside from sessions around LA, I've very much been active in the world of remote recording, so if you need any bass tracks, don't hesitate to ask! You can contact me through this site, or check out my recording website, BassTracksOnline.com.

    Hot off the presses! I got be a part of a few cool videos recently, and they all seemed to get released at once. Click on the titles below to see the vids:
Demi Lovato - "Heart Attack" music video
Elliott Yamin - Live recording session for "Self control"
Greg Scott - "Classy. Dirty. Sexy." Live recording session

     On the live side, I've been doing some touring with saxophonist Mindi Abair, as I'm now into my third year as a member of her band. In between her outings, I've been doing some gigs in LA with artists such as Elliott Yamin (American Idol) and Brandon Rogers (also of American Idol fame), as well as lots of fill-in gigs with various folks. I'll be in town mostly during April and May, then will be hitting the road in June for another Summer tour with Sony Music recording artist Victoria Justice. Check out my GIGS page to see the schedule.

... And I'm pleased to announce that my debut solo album, "Let the Games Begin..." is still available. Check out the  PRESS section of this website to read what people are saying! I can best describe it as instrumental funk, with of course a lot of focus on the bass. Right now it's available for download on  iTunes, and CDs are available through CD Baby, Amazon, and Abstract Logix. I've got clips up on my SOUNDS page, let me know what you think!


Well, I've babbled on long enough... Feel free to stop by my GIGS page to see where and when I'm playing. Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you soon!
