At just 15 years old he was playing with Buddy Rich and was Gary Burton’s Bassist for his All Star Band. Later, as a union musician, he had the chance to play with many well known musicians such as Brad Delp (Boston), Willie Nelson, Jimmy Dickens, Kitty Wells, Buddy Rich, Chubby Checker, Pete Sears and many more. His recent work as a Bassist and Keyboardist was for Rounder Records and Kevin Youkilis’s CD “Hit’s for Kids” due to be released in 2010. Some of the styles he’s played: Fusion, Rock, Metal, Country, Jazz, Big Band, Orchestra Pit! Musical influences: Chris Squire, Tony Levin, Stanley Clark, Victor Wooten. “I actually learn all the parts to all the instruments of a song or band that I like” as he plays every instrument equally well as bass. I am very excited to be part of “Girl On Top” and promise to take the energy to a new level.
