Bring Me Into
The Right Room.

Live · Recording · Media · Speaking

I'm a drummer, recording artist, producer and music-industry creative available for selected live work, recording, media appearances, panels and projects where musicianship, experience and adaptability matter.

This page is intentionally simple: what I'm available for, why I may fit, and the fastest way to start a conversation. For biography, history and current context, use About. For interviews, panels, coverage and proof, use Media.

PIG · 2026 North American Tour En Esch Slick Idiot Recording Artist / Producer Podcast Guest / Panelist
The Short Version

I'm useful in more than one lane.

My work has moved between performing, touring, recording, production, media, technology and the business side of independent music. That makes me most useful in situations where someone needs more than a person who can simply execute one narrow task.

I care about preparation, communication, musical judgment and being someone who makes the room easier rather than harder.

Booking Lanes

What can you bring me in for?

Four broad lanes. If your idea sits between them, send it anyway.

Why Me?

Experience is useful only when it makes the work better.

Credits matter, but I care more about what those years taught me to contribute when I'm actually in the room.

→

Preparation

I take the job seriously before anyone walks onstage, hits record or turns on a camera.

→

Adaptability

Touring, studio work, technology, media and production have trained me to solve problems outside a single job description.

→

Professional Perspective

Decades on both the creative and business sides of music make communication and context part of the work.

→

Actual Stories

For media and speaking, the material comes from lived experience rather than generic creator advice.

Selected Context

Enough proof to know where I've been.

This is deliberately not the whole biography. The About and Media pages carry that detail.
