I am a 28 year old, self taught musician, I have always been around music, I started playing the drums around 8 or 9 and picked up the guitar around 16, keyboard/piano, Conga's and Banjo around 19, Bass and Harmonica around 20, Flute and Mandolin around 22, Violin and Digereedo around 24, Lap Harp around 26, and am quite proficient at all of them, and excel at most.

I tried the whole band thing from about 6-10 years ago, but the "bands" would only last long enough for peoples heads to pop, they would loose their way, or some other type of neurological disorder/problem (alcohol), and eventually a slow "break-up" would follow. After years of "pep talks" and saying everything is ok (when it wasn't) and the constant butt kissing to keep the "band morale" up, I just gave up, and guess what, so did everyone else!

So for the last 5 years I haven't hardly even played the guitar, I've been raising my kids and enjoying the "family" life This is my first try at a solo thing, I guess its my way of kinda getting back into the whole scene. My fingertips are still tender.

One of my older projects can be found on www.Garageband.com/artist/Praxxis, we finished 155th out of around ten thousand, but that was about 6 years ago.

I've also finished a couple of projects with Kalkutta and currently I'm working on a demo to submit for session work up and down the east coast, I got my foot in the door on that one, I'd rather get paid to be a musician than to be a show.

Also, I've recently been in contact with a drummer who stuck with me through all the BS and head trips of the earlier days, he had sold his drum kit years ago, but recently bought himself another one, so who knows...

I've died as a mineral and became a plant...

I've died as a plant and became an animal...

I've died as an animal and became a man... why should I fear death, when has IT EVER made me less...

and from this life I will go... but to only god's form shall I know no end.
