Musical Background -
Attending Private Elementary School in the SF Bay Area, I was introduced to playing Brass Instruments which in turn spawned a love for all things music and later on various technical involvements in Live Sound productions.
I had various musical talents enter my life that were either working in the industry or were outright and well known geniuses that all the more re-enforced my passion for this expressive art form.
Classic Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Alternative Grunge Rock, Soul, Motown, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Big Brass Band, Acoustic, Horn Rock, Hip Hop & EDM, Electro Soul House being some of my most favorite genres to enjoy! My parents both loved music and had a large part in my musical exposure level.
I seem to really enjoy Tracks that use heavy 4x4 drum beats with guitars, Hammond - Leslie Combo B3 Jazz Organs and Brass Instruments licks... Used often in Classic Rock / Soul. I really love loud hi-def classic percussion drums with funky riffs... There used to be a local Radio Station known as 99.7FM KFRC (went offline in 2005) that I listened to from age 5 until they went offline - that station was a major influence in my musical exposure to Rock...
