My Background

I grew up in Chico California during the 60’s and 70’s the child of hippie parents who were more like siblings so I was basically on my own and a free spirit from a very young age. During grade school I started playing clarinet in band. By the time I reached Junior High I was playing tenor saxaphone in concert band. During the summers I attended music summer school sponsored by the university that culminated in performances at the Laxon Auditorium.

By high school I was playing guitar and forming rock bands with my buddies. My early musical influences were Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, BTO, Steppenwolf, etc. and over the years I played lead guitar, bass guitar, and keyboards in a number of local bands throughout California. This experience and musical knowledge formed the foundation for launching my company – Dramatic Cinematic Productions – in 2020.

My goal in the music industry these days is to help fresh artists develop successful streaming campaigns for their music on Spotify. The industry has changed considerably and now with the capability to self-release your own brand, getting your music on the major streaming and sales platforms (YouTube Music, iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon) is the fastest and easiest way to gain fans and grow your image.
