Artist History I started out with a small, extremely low budget recording facility back in 1994 recording small jingles for high school. In 1998 I got my first synthesizer, Roland XP-80 Workstation, and I began experimenting with sounds. All I listened to in highschool was Vangelis, Enya, Enigma and Pink Floyd. Then along came the influence of Blue Man Group. I soon started purchasing studio equipment, and recording samples. Now I have a full recording facility where I spend most of my time making music, and listening to my musical influences. It's my life, and my goal to share with others the talent that God has given me. I just hope I can help someone with my music.

Press Reviews Bassic, a well known mp3.com artist has reviewed Synthetica on his official message board. Below is the review he gave me. ************************************************* Nice chords and piano work in the intro - but that chord pad sound is WAY too loud in the mix. Let that piano come forward more, lower the chords, and lower those drums! Ooohh... nice transition there 2:00 something (should have come a little sooner maybe). Mmm yes, strings on top of the pads (but damnit, make them not so loud!).... return of the piano - yes yes yes and a electric guitar simulator or something - excellent - this should come in SOONER.... now I am getting really excited about all the cool stuff, and it makes me angry that I can't lower or even delete those drums that hit me in the face... arrgh! :/ Bottom line: Lots of raw talent here - like an uncut diamond! You need some bas(s)ic mixing lessons and some juicy effects though! And stay away from the drums maybe you can use loops instead? Your talent lies in the piano and the "guitar", as well as in basic chord progression. How do you compose? What kind of gear? *************************************************
