I began in Seattle as a Street Musician in the famous Pike Place Market & the Seattle Theatre Community. I was found by the directors of films, The Chocolate War & Class of 1999, shot there & made my road to LA, where I made films, Wild at Heart, Wild Orchid 2, Dark Side of Genius, The Little Death, Broken Vessels, etc. I played roles in TV’s Fame LA, Outer Limits, Dark Skies (as Jim Morrison) & Red Shoe Diaries. 
My Concept CD, Albion Moonlight & the Sea of Troubles, uses poetry, image & sound design. It's compared to David Bowie & Pink Floyd, on CDBaby. Its songs are in TV’s Party of Five & films, Broken Vessels & Crimes of the Past. Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, John Lennon) & I worked at mastering Albion with a view to the next.
Fame LA featured my song, Ghost, produced by Global Artist Corrado Rustici. I sang Mark Cohn, Vonda Shepard, Amy Grant & Tara MacLean, too. 
My career has been guided by Andy Slater (Capitol Records), VH1 Executive Leah Horwitz, Italian Pier Forlani. Slater produced sessions with Warren Zevon, Don Henley’s band & Beastie Boys Adam Yauch & Mike D, at A&M Records. Those songs are my next release, Warren & the Whiskey Sessions. Dark Side of Genius has 2 of them on its Soundtrack.
Randy Jackson gave time at Sony, from which Corrado chose songs Ghost, Leave a Light On & Nothing 2 Lose & I wrote radio hits, Inside a Flower, Tell Me & Sleeping in Your Hand, with Italian star, Elisa & him. 
I wrote with late Guitar Hero Derek Frigo (RIP), in duo, U4EA, until his tragic death. He lives on in U4EA's songs, on CDBaby.
I wrote with Joey Molland (Badfinger, Beatles) & Tim Schools on 2008’s Wear a New Face. I lived on my family's ranch, near San Juan Capistrano for 5 years, as a Ranch Hand at Horse Boarding. 
I moved home to Seattle in 2008. I’m now co-producing the film trilogy, In Our Blood, with Garrett Bennett. I’m a Good Standing Fellow of The Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.
