Mandocello_

You want soft, Happy,Trippy, Hippy, Skippy, wishy washy, water downed everyday crap? Then just listen around you, you're currently drowning in it.

But if you wanna know what raw smart beat your ass down Rock & Roll is all about, Then get in the car because today I'm behind the wheel and we're running on 109 octaine with a trunk full of dead polititians and moonshine!

I'm tired of singers singing about nothing. They come out of the woodwork in droves. Saying nothing and looking like the tanned california zombie sun.

The Great Creator created me and I honor him with creation. But I WILL NOT sit by all melodic and smiley faced While my brothers and sisters die for no cause in strange lands. While My Trees, My Earth, My Oceans, My dolphins, My Air, and My World, My little Brothers and Sisters are being Chewed up, raped, and Sucicided bombed by Popes, Presidents, Capitalist, and Paris Hilton Consumer Hit Squads.

You have a voice. Use it. Do something. Make a difference. Save whats left for the little ones.

I was born in Helsinki Finland. My  parents were exiled Romanians who traveled the globe performing with a Gypsy guitar troup. My Father died in Mexico when I was 6. Mother sent me to live with an Uncle in Spain whom performed on Mandocello, among other instruments, in the Merida Circus. I fed animals and chased circus girls in the daytime. Nights, I played Mandocello and guitar with the musicians......and learned cards as well. By 15 I was on my own rigging lights for the Alice Cooper band. I moved to Phoenix Arizona and started performing while doing guitar teching for Megadeath.

Since then I've been fortunate enough to record music with awesome artists. Most recently, Spellbox and Mysti Mayhem. I travel the country, performing live, writing and recording, and shooting short films and videos. This is the only life I've ever known.........

I am also a Luthire. I have built over 300 Mandocellos and Irish Bouzoukis. You can hear them on records by Steve Earle, Gov't Mule, Megadeath, Sheryl Crowe, and others......
