INTERESTS I spent many great years playing bass in art metal rock in bands such as Shirley Temple of Doom, Pucker, Slim Francis, the Elevens, the Blanche Mayhem Trio and Atom Strange. I also played bass guitar for the NYC based children’s music band, Baze & his Silly Friends. The band was regularly booked at various county and music festivals. I am now presently a composer of music for licensing, partnered with Peter DiStefano (Porno for Pyros) and am a session bassist for other musical projects. I have performed at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits in 2012. I read and write music, play the upright Bass, exercise, illustrate and paint.
