Biography

I've never been in a band. I've never gigged. I've yet to learn a cover in its entirety. And up until recently, I've never played in front of anyone other than immediate family. And you wonder where I got my name from....

But a few years ago, I got a wild hair, discovered Garageband, discovered iComp, and the fact that I've never been in a band, or gigged, or learned a cover didn't make any difference. I get to form a "band" with every song I write, or contribute to as a collaborator, and that's a very special thing.

For me, iComp equals collaborations. It's the most defining feature of this site, and is the most entrancing. The goosebump flush you get, listening to the final version, is just so much better when a song has more than one artist in it. As such, the tunes I'm most proud of are those where I collaborated with other talented artists here on this site. If you have a hankering to check out my tunes, please listen to the collabs. Where I could, I've updated the titles to reflect the other artists. Since my list is becoming a bit unwieldy, here are some of my favorites:

Metal/hard rock

Instrumentals:
Storm on the Horizon
Odyssey
A Top of Gold, done right

Fit to Be Tied
