In 2008 I played for Smooth Jazz artist Jay Soto who had a #2 Billboard Charts hit entitled “Slammin.” Later that year we played the Celebrity Theater opening for Boney James. We played various Jazz Festivals for the next year of which he headlined. During that time, I was also freelancing with other local bands in town. 2005 - 2012 I played in a metal project called Kings Field. We shared the stage with many artists within the prog rock and metal genre. Acts such as Kamelot, Nevermore, Hammerfall, Soilwork, Sepultura, and Epica.
In 2017 Jay Soto was getting back into the Smooth Jazz scene and approached me about recording drums for his ‘On The Verge” album. I was so excited about the project, as this would be the first full length album that I would be recording in my home studio (GR2Studio).
I am currently playing for New Destiny of which consists of some of the valleys best musicians (Jr Cota, Danny Brown, and Gary Romero Sr.). We play Old-Skool, Funk, Rock and Latin music.
