From 1993 to 2002, I played in Hexus, an original band that graced legendary venues like The Gas Works and El Mocambo. Our career included releasing five EPs and receiving recognition in magazines such as Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles. We even caught the attention of Sony Music and The Agency Group.Since 2002, I've channeled my passion for music into a new venture. I earned a degree in Recording Music Production from Trebas Institute and subsequently built my own production studio. Here, I champion grassroots artists, providing comprehensive support from pre-production recording to videography and essential marketing tools for self-promotion. My dedication to this work was profoundly reinforced when a fan, seeking an autograph, shared that one of my songs had literally saved him from committing suicide. That moment solidified my commitment to empowering artists and creating impactful music.
