Self-taught musician and composer. Grew up in a family of very diverse musical interests, thus exposed to a wide variety of influences. Discovered Jean Michelle Jarre in 1982 and Tangerine Dream in 1984 and immediately fell in love with electronic music. First synth was a Moog Prodigy, purchased in 1982. Still have it and use it. Grew bored of the cover band scene. Began writing my own material in 1986. Cut my first album, A Distant Light, in 2010 and mastered by Steve Roach. The rest is history.
