My musical influences are sometimes worn on my sleeves, and I am slowly learning how to stop that..but until then you'll hear bits of some bands and musicians that have influenced me. Bands like Strapping Young Lad, Genesis, Opeth, Dream Theater.

And who can forget the glory days of the 90's? Not me, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots all have had some influence on me. Metallica, Live, Frank Zappa, Yes, Devin Townsend, Steven Wilson, Frank Soloman, and the Jewettes, King Crimson/Robert Fripp, Brian Eno... The list is ridiculous.

Now, this isn't a list of people or bands that I try to sound like. Just some names that have influenced my playing and writing in one way or another.

I've been in a few bands in the Arizona scene, most notebly CORVUS. We were young, having fun, and we were metal. Good times, that also earned me alot of experience. I've since moved back to the place I love. Detroit. (ok, so I live in a place just outside of Detroit) Either way, here I am, doin what I can.
