I grew up as a rock n' roller. Played in a hair band when I was a kid as a drummer. Played a little piano as a kid. These days I'm more of the tropical, Caribbean, Hawaiian musical nature with some modern rock and pop country influences.
Right now, I'm looking to collaborate with people musicians of any different genres as well as develop and enhance my engineering and production skills. I'm certainly an amateur at engineering and production, but with the help of others, I know I can develop into a decent engineer and producer.

Typically weekends during the day hours may work the best and try to schedule about a month in advance as I have to work around gigs with my band, and family time with my wife and son.
As far as any payment goes, I'm pretty flexible and can negotiate rates and/or royalties. Not opposed to bartering as well.

I promise, I will post some of my solo songs soon, as well as songs that I've recorded with my band.
I'm new too. I would like to get on as many blogs as I can. I can't do to much in public with my music these days because I am recuperating from surgery.
