Becoming a songwriter / musician started for me at a young age first being influenced by the Beatles and graduating to bands such as The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Mike Bloomfield from Super Session, and John Mayall. While playing with small club bands (such as The Just %, The Sound Castle, and Kaine Mutiny) which grew into the formal study of Choral Music Composition my song writing / performing was interrupted by a multi - decade stent in the fields of Business and Arts Management. Despite career endeavors, I managed to complete Music and Arts Administration degree.
