I started playing drums in 1991, and soon after started my first band, The Everymen. We immediately leapt into the DIY punk scene, because it was a place that we could make the kind of community we wanted, and by 1996, I was promoting shows, doing sound, recording bands, doing reviews for local publications, and playing in several bands. Anything I could to be around and promote local music. I went on my first international tour in the US in 1996, and I was hooked. The Everymen split up in 2001, but I started a new band called The Failure (who a few years later changed the name to The Evidence), and I started my own recording studio, Echo Base Studio, at which I’ve made well over a thousand records at this point. In 2014, I joined my long-time friends in Belvedere and began touring with them in earnest. In 2016 we released the first new Belvedere album in 10 years, Revenge of the Fifth, and toured it a whole bunch, all over the world. We just released our newest album, Hindsight is the Sixth Sense, in 2021, and we are primed and ready to hit the road this year!
