Craft:
musician, producer
Instruments:
sequencer, synthesizer, voice, electric guitar, electric bass
Genres:
electro, punk, hardcore, pop punk

After playing in 12 bands since 1998 (http://archive.cipherrecords.net), I've spent the last few years making more electronic rock music. I have a very up-tempo electro album out under the name Robot Goes Here on Infidel Records (www.myspace.com/RobotGoesHere) mixed by Ted Young (Taking Back Sunday, Bouncing Souls) and Ray Martin (Gorillaz, Shakirah), but I also do more downtempo stuff, which is most of whats featured here. Coming from a punk/hardcore background, I'm outside my sphere when it comes to doing vocals for mellower music, and so I'm looking for some of you out there to help me finish out these songs!
