ABOUT ME

I grew up in Brooklyn NY. I was always interested in performance--I started off acting in junior high, and then fell in love with music around age 14 and haven't stopped since. I've been playing in bands that have toured the country.

I lived in Upstate NY for 3 years and got my degree in English from SUNY New Paltz. I relocated to Brooklyn and devoted my life to music. My day job is stock & delivery at a wine store called Bottlerocket to pay mah bills.

Music, Movies, and Books

--CAN is a band I'm listening to at the moment. Tago Mago is an awesome album and so is future days.
--I'm reading a book called "Moon Palace." I'm also in the middle of "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy. I was reading "Moby Dick," it was a goal of mine this summer, but it was just so boring I had to put it down.
