In kindergarten my teacher asked if anyone could write a song. Suzie did. I figured if this is what Suzie liked, then I would write a song too. Thus, I wrote my first song. In high school I was hitch hiking when I fell out of a car. As a result, I was on crutches for 3 years. I spent a lot of time just writing songs. After high school, I formed the original Digits. Our most famous gig was opening for the original Dead Kennedy's at the Cuckoos Nest in Costa Mesa, Ca.. In the 90s, I formed Rebel Romantic. One of our songs was used on Leeza Gibbons TV Show. In 1997 we were signed to the now defunct spinrecords.com. Rick Ruben (American Records) actually sent an A&R guy out to see us at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, Ca. In June 2006 I was a musical guest on NPR's Folk Sessions Live. I also performed live at the Granite Peaks Folk Concert in my new hometown of Prescott, Az.. Recently, Scotskid (video director) and I were guests on NPR's Folk Sessions radio program. We talked about our video for "Doing Business with a Gun". My videos are being well received on youtube and other web sites. October '07 the album, "Tribal Mentality", was released. 70 college radio stations and several Specialty Radio Shows have been spinning my songs. I WAS MUSICAL GUEST ON THE LOPSIDED WORLD OF L ON JUNE 1ST '08 ON KUPD PHOENIX (this is one of Phoenix's most popular radio shows on the most powerful rock station in Arizona). Needless to say this was a big thrill, the youtube taping of the show will be posted soon. Some stations who have played my songs include: KUPD...Phoenix, Az-Lopsided World Of L (Jonathan L) KSCF...(CBS) San Diego KIHN..Hugo, Ok-Morning Show with Jay Wesley Lindly, WAITT/Dial Global Radio Networks, Omaha, Ne.
