Trumpet Player, Bassist & DJ

I am the Instrument of my music.  My trumpet and bass are simply amplifiers. I hope when you see and hear me live, you experience my music the way it touches me.  

  The Northwest has a ton of guys covering Rock and Country and many of them do a great job.  With great intention, I do something completely different.  I mix Vocals, and Instrumental work and an occasional moment of comedy into my shows. My show has an emphasis on POP, FUNK, R&B and MODERN JAZZ.  My setlist contains songs that I have learned as a DJ, motivate a crowd to have a great time.  Artists I cover include The Jackson 5, Rihanna, The Isley Brothers, Jessie J, Beyonce, Usher, Sam Cooke, The Drifters, and more.  Using vocals and trumpet, I bring something different and fun to each of my songs. 

I have hosted over 1,000 weddings in my life.  I have worked in clubs and hosted events for some of the largest companies in the US.  This experience has taught me how to read the crowd, and adjust as needed.  Some crowds need a lot of interaction, but if you have a crowd of regular party goers, I get into mix mode because they are only concerned with driving the party mix.

When I DJ, I bring modern  gear and a lifetime of experience as an entertainer.  Don't expect me to always be on the mic making noise.  I will when needed.  Otherwise, I will be matching beats and keys offering up great transistions.

Trischa, my kids and my dogs are my inner circle.  I will do anything for them.  My almost inner circle is also my extended family & friends.  I am grateful to have some amazing people to share this life with.  I love meeting new people too and making new friends.  

Something I encourage everone to do is be kind, even if you don't see eye to eye with someone.  We will never be a planet with all of us sharing the same opinions and values.  But we can certainly learn to be kind.
