One of the two founding members of "ACTRESS" , originally one of the original Glam bands in the Hollywood Sunset Strip Music Scene - (See: the major motion Picture, "Inside Metal- Pioneers of L.A. Heavy Metal & Hard Rock" or it's sequel "Inside Metal - the L.A. Scene Explodes". Currently Actress has re-located to the Las Vegas area & are gigging & recording.
Music is my life. Everything I do revolves around writing, playing & performing music.
A wider, worldwide audience for the songs my band, "Actress" & my self have written & performed. I've achieved many of my musical goals over the last 30 years or so... I suppose the only one I have my sights set on now, is to play the SwedenRock Festival.
I would make it more fair for music artists to get paid for their art. online outlets like iTunes & Spotify virtually rape the music artists.
"All The Kids On The Street" by the Hollywood Stars. I can still remember the first time I heard it on AM radio. I was maybe 13 years old. Fast forward and now I have become friends with the members of that band & have been asked to cover this very same song. I am totally honored to do so!
I live & die by my 70's Glam era roots... Hollywood Stars, KISS, Angel, The Sweet, Starz, The Babys, the New York Dolls, etc. and I'm totally blessed to have become friends & contemporaries with the very musicians that inspired me to play in the first place.
The feeling I get, when I get on stage, just can't be beat! The adrenaline kicks in and it's "Rock Star Heaven"!
Do what you want to do, and if it makes you happy, Don't ever let anyone make you stop.
It's the most exciting feeling in the world.. No matter if it's in front of 3 people, or 3,000 people.. I've done both.
A fairness to musicians who should be PAID for their art. Bands should be paid for their performances, And paid for their music. Bars would be empty without us. They need to share the money derived from selling drinks, etc. as without us to draw patrons in, they wouldn't be selling any drinks.
It's an interesting "Science Experiment" , I'm willing to participate & see what the benefits are.
Being treated like a free jukebox & not being fairly compensated.
Absolutely! I go out, I attend other band's gigs, I make sure my band and I contribute to the health of our local Las Vegas & L.A. music scenes.
Originality. the world already had a Led Zeppelin, or a Guns N' Roses. Just do your best to be the best "YOU" you can be.
