The Story

From church band to sitar ragas

I started learning drums at the age of nine. Growing up in the Christian community, I found my people in church band, playing drums and guitar every Sunday for five years. Then came the punk bands, folk rock and eventually the park jams— "Everything for Everyone"—where anyone could show up with an instrument and we'd see what happened.

Now I produce sound effects and music for games, build audio software, engineer sessions, and release strange music under names most people have never heard.
