I was in my share of local bands in my teens and twenties, playing a variety of the popular Heavy Rock and guitar oriented music of the '80s. My early infuences and teachers were: Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Michael Schenker and Akira Takasaki, with much infuence from the great composers.
I began singing at twenty, singing back-up vocals in the bands I was in eventually taking over lead vocals.
