I'm a guitarist / composer living in Brooklyn, NY. I was born in London, England in 1971, and was raised in New York City till I was 11 or 12, then moved to the utopian San Franciscian suburb of Mill Valley CA, where I stayed through high school. My parents were musicians and started me on guitar when I was 5 years old. I didnt get too serious about it until I was 13 or so, which was around the time I could recognize just how deep, and wide ranging my parents record collection was. Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Brecker Brothers, Herbie Mann, Ohio Players, Prince, Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, Jackson 5, Beethoven, Ravi Shankar, The Police. Really all over the map. I'm thankful for that, because my own tastes started there and just went further (and further) out in each direction, more or less.
I've been back in NY since 1998, making all kinds of music. I have a few CD's out, Orthodoxy (Red Giant Records), Tactiles (Pi Recordings), and the newest, Ophiuchus Butterfly. You can find my music in the jazz bin, although I think it moves more and more frequently into other territory. I'm trying to make my own music reflect as much honesty as possible, with regards to my influences and experience.
Some of the people you might have (or can) see(n) me play with would be, Henry Threadgill, Butch Morris, Greg Osby, and Vijay Iyer.
