Band X also performs events where we include well known celebrity rockers like: Rick Springfield, Paul Rodgers, Robin Zander, Jeff Carlisi, Jack Blades, Wally Palmar, Eddie Money, Ed Roland, and many more.

Working in the studio environment is definitely one of my true loves. I really enjoy the creative process in the recording studio, either on a large or a small project as both can be very satisfying.

As a recording session musician - keyboards, pianos, electric pianos, Hammond B3, synths, and vocals - I'm hired to work on recording projects for other musicians, artists, bands, groups, and producers.

Through my career, I've been fortunate to have played on quite a few gold and platinum recordings. To check my recording history and see many of the top of the line musicians that I've been blessed and had the pleasure of working with, go to my Discography page.

As a composer and songwriter, I'm constantly working in my studio on many genres of music - Rhythm and blues, Smooth jazz, Soul music, Blues rock, Rock, House music, Instrumental, Americana, Film and TV music, as well as Healing & Meditation.

Some studio music sessions are projects for hire while some time is spent collaborating with other songwriters. But most of my creative time is spent on my original compositions - for music being released on my Independent record label go to Big Coffee Records and click for information on current and future projects.

Also, go to Healing Force Music to check out one of my latest projects - calming instrumental music composed for stress relief, healing therapy, relaxation, meditation, and enjoyment.
