What the H### am I doing whilst all this madness?
I’m writing a f##### rock album where I play guitar and sing. Plans are to start a scene in Chicago and then take over the world and sh#t. Typical rock 101 plans/agenda kinda mind set/stuff.
I’m broke doing what I love and I come from a small town. Actually I wouldn’t be broke if I didn’t go to music school, but if I didn’t go to music school then I wouldn’t be doing what I love. Music School didn’t give me a gig but it did give me the foundation of basic music knowledge both that’s transpired to live performance and most importantly songwriting. I have been lucky to travel the world as a drummer having been to over 45 countries, it’s this traveling that has made me become a different person. I wanna share my experiences via song via rock n roll.
The following videos are what I wrote and produced last year. I’ve been taking vocal lessons and shedding the krap out of guitar, let’s just say the album is gonna kicka## and yeah there’s gonna be real drums and no “sound” replacement; REAL LIVE DRUMS if that even matters.

My new SONGWRITING tool; “Gen 16 AE cymbals”.
I DO NOT ENDORSE THIS COMPANY OR BRAND
I was so excited about these cymbals however, that I made a video for them to explain how they work and why I’ve been using them.
Special thanks to Vic at Vic’s Drum Shop in Chicago, IL for providing the convenient video shoot location and also, special thanks to video producer Rick Allen.
