Drummer/singer/songwriter
Hey everyone! I’m stoked to say that I’m hard at work on new material with my grunge infused project deadoriginal.com Last year I finally released the first album digitally that was produced and tracked at my home studio and I even tracked all of the instruments (vocals, drums, guitar) minus bass guitar. It was so much work and boom; I’m at it again! No announcements yet on new material, but in the mean time stream the first album here or via deadoriginal.com
