Overview
Thus far, Bass is my main instrument. At a time I played drums, but I still retain my piano training. In the future I want to learn a brass instrument, but until then...I also Voice Act/Announce. I can perform in several different accents. I.E. Australian, Cockney, Russian, Southern. Additionally I teach piano for fun.

What to expect
Always service the music/supplier 1st! The last the you want is to have more on your plate than you can handle, or more than you want. Once you're in the swing of events planning, rehearsals, communicating with the masses, that's easy to do. My experience with Music Composition, and Voice Acting has taught me that you put your best foot forward in everything you do. I carry that mentality with me to every event, show, appointment, rehearsal, etc.
About
I thoroughly enjoy playing bass, and creating content on the spot. However, there is no substitute for a good solid song, without all the hooplah. After being at it for a while, you learn that diversification is key. I make it a point to be diverse, while still maintaining the spirit of the music.
About 3 - 5 times a month I sing (quite well), and Voice Act. Feel free to check back when you're browsing and see (or ask) more.

Influences and inspiration
Saying "too many to name" sounds a bit cliche' but, that's really true.
Musically, I have been influence by:
Jazz -- Robert Glasper, Gretchen Parlato, Snarky Puppy, Victor Wooten, Jaco Pastorius, etc
Rock -- AC/DC, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Polyphia, Chon, Animals As Leaders, etc
Classical -- Anything Listz, Chopan, Bach, Philharmonic Orchestra, etc
And I'm sure you don't want to spend all day reading my life's story, so that's a quick summary.
