Artist History I started plunking out melodies on the piano at the age of six...and for years that was satisfying enough. But the music bug bit hard just out of high school, and I soon became infatuated with learning other instruments, picking up the acoustic and electric guitar, bass, and drums in a relatively short span of time (and missing a lot of social life and sleep in the process). All throughout this period, the urge to produce was being fed by experimentations with MIDI and multi-track recording. Finally, in 1999, armed with a Roland VS-1680 and a small project studio, my musical forays unfolded into the tracks which became the debut album, No Stone Unturned. (And now, all sorts of interesting and inexplicable cosmic connections have occured...friends from bands I was in years earlier have magically and gracefully appeared to help me bring the new album to the stage. I am in their debt!)
