i`m a native of kansas city, mo transplanted to los angeles in 1988. i am an IT professional by day and a music professional, wearing many hats, by night. currently i own basshead recording studios in torrance, ca and `i`m the bass player for wylde bunch hip hop band (see the favorite links section for more info). i also produce and manage artists and do consulting for indie labels for video, artist development, distribution and marketing. i`m into anything on the creative tip from music to writing, art, video, etc. much respect to any and all trying to make it happen in the original, creative vein. i love to read and often have a couple of books going at once. traveling or experiencing new food and people are among my favorite things to do as well. now i`m enjoying making new friends on black planet so feel free to hit me up. always looking for a recommendation for a good mystery or thriller.
