• Age 29 | Musician | Portland, OR

I'm a bass player first and foremost. This is probably unhealthy, but hey, what the fuck else am I going to do with my time? Paint? Write? Harass people until they say something that amuses me? Well ... I do all that too, but that's entirely beside the point.

Bios always strike me as an odd thing to write about yourself (how do you know I aint completely full of shit or delusional as all hell?), so I'll limit this to the basics. Its probably better this way.

I was born somewhere in southern California, was in gangs and shit then got over that whole world pretty quick, traveled a hell of a lot for a variety of reasons in the interim and now sufficiently survive in Portland, OR. I often backwardly compose music via illustrations and have sworn off lyric writing for life upon the realization that I have absolutely no talent for it. I'm also a socialist. No, really.

I can play bass though. Better than most. Without a doubt. All jokes and bullshit aside, I've starved and bled for this. I know my game.

David Lynch, Salvador Dali, Henry Miller, that woman in the park with a dog named Walter, and the girl dancing by herself at the bar the other night... this changes often.

• Been playing bass for around fifteen years. I cant count the number of bands I've played with. The number of shows either. There have been a lot of both. Its somewhat ridiculous.

• Other musicians, preferably ones that want to make a different noise. No folk singers. None. DJ's either unless you got some mad skill.
