In and out of various copy bands gravitating to glam rock, a major change occurred. A local guitarist saw me in a club and convinced me that I should work with him writing songs. There was no turning back. I found my love of creating music and performance overwhelming. 
Finally formed my own group- Tokyo Pink was born and immediately gained notoriety in local clubs and soon Tokyo Pink secured opening spots for national acts such as Mark Farner, Blackfoot, and 'til Tuesday. Tokyo Pink, became a headline act at such venues as the Dirt Club, the Stone Pony, and several famed NYC rock venues CBGBs, the Cat Club and the Ritz Theater. Tokyo Pink parted ways to pursue other interests.
I am currently working on my first solo album and have released first single!
