Let me give you some info about myself- read away & enjoy...
My music career started way back in 1984- My first band was with a bunch of cool guys that I grew up with...
" Forced Vengeance " was born- playing the likes of Kiss, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest ...etc. Each and everyone of us became metal heads as the term at that time was created / used.
Although, the band was short lived- we all ( Tom Wassman, Frank Oquendo, John Mazzina + Phil Pasculi ) stayed together within our own circle of musical friends and
each of us went on to embark on their own forked roads of rock and roll.

I went on to many roads and jammed with other friends of mine, Gary Roz of " Zyris " and Danny Burkehart ...a fabulous drummer in his own right.
My influences came from my family mainly my brothers Michael, Bobby and Walter who pushed me to be the player that I am today.
My musical influences are just about every bass player that caught my ear: ( Geddy Lee, Steve Harris, Paul Mccartney + Stanley Clarke ) to name a few.
After a brief hiatis from the music scene, I went back to playing in 1994 and started my solo project named " Loaded Dice "
...Playing everywhere from New York to Boston and in between, also getting some studio experience behind the audio boards
with Dan Burkehart and Billy Milano of S.O.D.
