About me. 

​

I've been told I land somewhere on the spectrum of David Bowie and A Muppet. *shrug*  Been writing music since I was 13. Even wrote for the local Cincinnati record label Soundlink Studios with the prolific Mix Fox. That was hip-hop and I wanted to write rock opera in space. So I left dear Cincinnati, and became a New York City transplant. How mystical! Got my shiny degree from the New York Film Academy in, you guessed it, Musical Theater. I tripped around regional theater, and even off-Broadway for a bit before I started my band: Terra and the Dactyls.

 

We've been playing out twice a month since October 2016. 

 

In April my first show, 'Havoc! A Song Cycle for Six Women Who Give a Fuck'  was produced by the 4thU Artivists to raise money to end violence against women and girls. We raised $6000. 

I also licensed a Clive Barker novel and over the past summer with my new writing partner Rachel Chung, wrote the horror rock/folk epic 'Clive Barker's Mister B. Gone'. Which I also played the title character. I'm basically Lin-Manuel Miranda but with way less Tonys and a handful of emotional problems. 

​

On the docket of projects is taking Mister B. Gone to festivals, an all women version on 1776 set in space (lovingly dubbed Seventeen Seventy Six Thousand), Hildegard the Rock Opera, and the one where the drunk housewife falls in love with the astronaut in her television.
