From playing with pencils on notebooks, or anything else I could bang on, it started. When I would go visit my cousins in Brooklyn,NY, they would turn me on to some cool stuff like Led Zepplin, Guitars, Singing, and then Drums!! My Cousin Jimmy sat me behind a real drum set and taught me some beats. It changed me from within. From there I never stopped. All of my cousins, Aunts and Uncles are musical. They all encouraged and helped me grow with music. |
I still have the old 45's they gave me to practice to. I Love them all very much. From Brooklyn to Virginia… I always had support from my family. My parents and my sister, put up with alot of noise, over the years. They never complained, and I have been very lucky. They all would make it to as many shows as they could. Music has given me some of my best and worst moments, but I wouldn't change playing for anything. |
I have been in a few local bands over the years: "Basement Boy's", "Persuaders", "Transzition", "Lydian Fortune", "Second Hand Smoke", "Bad-Animals", "Atrium", They are all learning experiences. My influences are John Bonham, Neil Peart and Mike Portnoy. I would like to thank Keith and Gary for letting me in on this opportunity to play some great music. If I can't play from the heart,its tough, but this stuff I really feel!! |
