About Me:
 
NEWS: I'm very excited to be part of Bassline Publishing's new book, 'Solo Arrangements for Electric Bass', which is due out later this year. It will include a transcription of 'I, Resolute' as well as an interview. This book will feature many talented bassists and I'm honored to be part of it! Further details can be found at the Bassline Publishing website.

ALBUM UPDATE: I am close to being finished with the recording of my first album and hope to begin mixing and mastering soon!

**********

My aim is to play melodic music with a full and complete sound using my bass guitar.

All of my original compositions and arrangements are played on my ZON VB4 BASS with D'ADDARIO PICCOLO STRINGS (extremely light gauge strings that are very receptive to altered tunings and allow me to tune my bass to higher pitches). Essentially, piccolo strings can be tuned anywhere between standard bass tuning all the way up to the first four strings of a guitar. Altered tunings are a key part of my approach.

Musical background: I am lucky to have received cello lessons from a young age before switching to bass when I was 17 (ten years ago). I learned how to play by jamming along with my favorite rock bands. When I was in my early twenties, I discovered Michael Manring and Victor Wooten and was immediately drawn to the solo bass scene...

I hope you enjoy the music!

(Feel free to send me a personal message with any questions you may have; however, please note that I DO NOT HAVE ANY TABS.)

Dude, you have just inspired me. I've been playing guitar off and on for about five and a half years and have always wanted to play bass. Your playing has settled it; I'm picking up a bass. Thank you for being awesome.

You should get a bassist career... your 'epic' love would sell really well... And it's just so beautiful...
Your girlfriend must've been in tears at the end of it... I would be if somebody wrote that for me... So... there's no words for it...

Hey dude. May I suggest that you get a myspace and also put your music up there? I think it will really help people to get a lot more people to know you
