About The Musician
My Facebook Profile | Hope Conditional Discography | My Creative Process
Bassist | Guitarist | Drummer | Vocalist | Composer | Producer
I bring dedication, passion, and a sense of joy to my playing. I am more than willing to embrace the role of bassist and all that implies. My goal is to make the foundation of my band solid enough to allow the melodies and solos to work their magic.
In 2020 I started recording my own albums under the name “Hope Conditional”, utilizing various digital recording tools to create the music I hear in my head. I have more than 100 songs published on various channels, including Spotify. Learn more here.
As a member of Bee Charmers, recognized in 1996 by Musician Magazine as a finalist for their annual Top 10 Best Unsigned Bands contest.
