Artist description Fusion guitarist which alternates between the clean jazz sound and the overdriven "Santana" sound. My music is intended to be used as a vehicle to transport the soul,mind and body of the listener to a place that exists out there in the vast expanse of vibration and feeling. It was stated to me by a listener that music is truly a universal language understood by anyone regardless of culture,age, or ethnicity. Enjoy these musical excursions.
