Q

INSTRUMENT: Lead Vocals, Rhythm/Lead Guitar
BIRTH PLACE: Harlem, NYC

MUSIC INFLUENCES:
Classical for the train of thought and expression of many instruments used to reproduce feeling and dynamics of sound. Old-school metal like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Exodus, King Diamond, Dio, Metallica, Megadeth - because of the showmanship, skill, the sound and they just f#%@ing ROCK! I can go on, but the Eagles, Tom Petty, Pearl Jam, Tool, The Doors, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Billy Idol….I’ll just stop now.

WORST JOB HELD:
Making fiberglass wall sound insulation. 1st smoke break they heard the sound of a built 76’ step-side bark’n out of the parking lot.

REASON FOR CURRENT INSTRUMENT:
Cuz everyone else had a BC Rich Warlock!

MUSICALLY BEFORE QUARTER POUND:
State a couple of times for marching band (yea I know). Brief times with a couple of pro bands, which I’m still not over missing out on CrAnK’n the Rocks. Several basement bands, one garage band, but mostly enjoyed writing and playing acoustic.

WHAT'S FOR FUN:
Sleep, much sleep, 4 wheel'n, camping and travel.

GEAR:
Jackson, Franknberry Rig and Boss Effects.

FAVORITE CLICHÉ:
"It is what it is" and "Assume nothing - suspect everyone".

WHAT SEPARATES QUARTER POUND:
The ability to dare to be different, but be dam good at it!
