Let me give you some info about myself- read away & enjoy...
I WAS A SELF TAUGHT GUITARIST, I PUT SO MUCH TIME IN MY LEARNING-
HOW TO BE GOOD ON THE GUITAR REGARDLESS OF ALL OF MY DISTRACTIONS
WHICH WOULD BE? GETTING YELLED AT, BECAUSE ALL I DID WAS PRACTICE 6 TO 8 HRS A DAY
GROWING MY HAIR, WORKING HARD LABOR JOBS, JUST TO KEEP MY HAIR ...TO KEEP THE IMAGE OF A ROCK GUITARIST AND
FROM THIS DAY I NEVER GAVE UP ON MY LOVE FOR THE GUITAR.
AS FOR WHO MY INFLUENCES WOULD BE TO STUDY ...AS MANY STYLES OF GUIARISTS
NOT ONE TO STAY IN ONE PLACE WHEN PERFORMING
JIMMY PAGE, RANDY RHOADS, VINNIE MOORE, EDDIE VAN HALEN, GEORGE LYNCH, CHET ATKINS, GARY MOORE,
BB KING, ANDRE SOCOVIA, GLEN TIPTON, WOLF HOFFMAN + MARTY FRIEDMAN
AS WELL AS- FUNK, JAZZ, METAL, CLASSICAL & FUSION INFLUENCES.
WHEN I AM JAMMING WITH A BAND OR WITHOUT ONE,
I LIKE TO HAVE FUN & I AM FILLED WITH ENERGY- AND I SHARE IT WITH THE AUDIENCE BY
JUMPING AROUND, BANGING HEAD, SHAKING MY HAIR, FEEDING OFF THE HIGH OF MY GUITAR,
TALKING TO GUITAR AND EXTREMELY FAST ORTHODOX PLAYING ALL OVER THE NECK
...ONE TOO LEAVE THE AUDIENCE IN A TRANCE CHEERING ME ON
I HAVE PLAYED IN ORIGNAL AND COVER BANDS:
MY FOCUS WAS TO START A ORIGNAL BAND AND I DID.
MY FIRST BAND WAS " DREADNAUGHT " A HEAVY METAL BAND WITH INFLUENCES OF
METALLICA, MEGADETH + SLAYER.
AFTER THIS BAND I, THEN MOVED ON TO MY NEXT BAND " UNIVERSAL MIND "
WHICH WAS A HEAVY HARD CORE 3-PIECE BAND
WHOM OPENED UP FOR NUCLEAR ASSAULT + MUCKY PUP
THE NEXT ADVENTURE OF MINE WAS A BAND CALLED " STEEL AGGRESSOR " -WHOM OPENED UP FOR KING DIAMOND
AT L'AMOURS IN BROOKLYN, N.Y.
AND ALSO OPENING FOR LAZZ ROCKET ON ANOTHER DATE
ALWAYS BEING THE ONE GUIARIST- PLAYING LEAD AND RHYTHYM GUITAR IN ALL BANDS...
I, THEN LEFT THE MUSIC SCENE FOR 2 YEARS- TRYING TO SURVIVE WORKING NIGHTS & DAY SHIFT JOBS.
FINALLY THEN, I CAME BACK ON THE MUSIC SCENE AND JOINED A BAND THAT WAS CALLED " STRICT 9 "
WHICH LATER ON CHANGED ITS NAME TO " FATALITY "
THE BAND WAS JUST WHAT I WANTED- TO EXPRESS AND WRITE MY OWN MATERIAL
IN THIS BAND, AGAIN BEING THE ONLY GUITARIST, MY STRIVE FOR SUCCESS WAS HARD, BUT IT FINALLY CAME
WHEN WE GOT SIGNED TO ALL ROUND THE WORLD RECORDS, AND WE WERE FEATURED ON THREE VIDEO SHOWS
WHICH WERE: CLUB LIGHT, SPOT LIGHT + VF FOOTAGE
AND THEN AFTER A WHILE MORE THE BAND DEPARTED AND WENT OUR OWN WAYS.
