About Me

Early on, I enjoyed listening to and playing a broad range of music. Over the years, I was privileged to work with many talented performers in style ranging from classical to  jazz to world to hip hop to rock to... 

I have produced/played/engineered numerous albums (including Gold and Platinum), films and commercials. John Cale, Will.I.Am, Phillp Glass, Ghazal,  Jeff Buckley, Joe Zawinul, Tom Verlaine are amongst many of the great musicians I worked with. It will be my pleasure to bring that experience to your music and help you make your project sound as good as it should.
