New Album: "Suffer Twice"!

I wrote 8 tracks for an indie RPG video game that ended up not getting made. But that’s okay – I had a lot of fun and would’ve done it anyway. Watch the video below to listen to the whole 9 minute album, and if you enjoy, give me a follow on one of the social media pages linked above.

To license any or all of these tracks for free, contact me.

About Me

I grew up in the Philly suburbs of New Jersey. I fell in love at a young age with hard rock, heavy metal, and whatever was on MTV and the radio. In my teens I played guitar, bass, and drums – a few times at local punk & hardcore shows, but mostly just jamming with friends and dreaming.

I went to art school in Philadelphia, majoring in Multimedia & Design. In my early 20s I moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where I’ve worked as an Interactive Director in tourism & event marketing for the last 20+ years.

Recently, my interest in playing and making music has been rekindled, so I’ve hit the books and trained hard at becoming a better guitar player, home recording engineer, and knower of music & composition theory.
