Out of the utter chaos & devastation of the past four to five years and from a world imploded. Rises a phoenix ,"OK,OK". More like a dragon that thinks he's a phoenix. But anyway, One that's wanting to put out new music infusing different types of worldly instruments & musical styles onto a hard rock based stage... ~Hope you enjoy the ride/flight!

  My father was born in Lake Placid New York, mother born and raised in Sampson county North Carolina. They both met working up in the capital Raleigh. Only a few months after meeting they married in a year later I was born down in Clinton hospital & back where we lived in Raleigh till first grade and we moved to Garner North Carolina where I started my education or doctrination..

  Let me see where should we start, I guess maybe the 1st time I fell off the bandwagon my very 1st show I was front man for a band called Aftermath A.D. and like I was saying was my first show and only show with them. About a year later after trying out for a few cover bands and one original thrash band I picked my PA up and walked down about seven or eight storage garages & set up with a band called Tub of Noise. We were a type of crossover Punk metal with a Twist of Jane's Addiction meets Metallica in a bad way, LOL!

  Anyway had a good 2-year run with them moved on to a band called Thornback I'm kind of a happy medium between Slayer meets The Beatles another 2 years moved on. Then form the band called Resin. With them we had 2 different lineups in the four-year span two different set lists of songs let only them. Playing opening slots with band such as Overkill Life of Agony, Machine Head, stuck Mojo and a handful more. The granite being a Raleigh based band, Corrosion of Conformity & Confessor we're good friends of ours and we shared the stage countless times. Overall all those musicians and those bands I played with in that stretch were phenomenal players very original and very well some of them were tight some of them were not so tight, but I guess they made up for for spontaneity & originality. After a good 12-year run I want to take a small break and ended up taking an extended break, even thought about changing my goals in life so I started homing my cooking skills to become the next food Network Star 🧀🥩🍰 or at least an Iron Chef. Oh how dreams come and go..

  Reunion Show with the guys in Tub of Noise. And walked away from the stage again. And at that time I think I said what the hell I'll try everything at least one time in my life. So I got married was flying at least twice a year down to the Caribbean enjoying life for a good 5 years but for some reason I always felt like I had something missing not able to let the creative Juices Flow if you will. Be able to create something that was mine and me which probably didn't help much with the relationships so shortly after we separated I encountered this stupid app called Facebook and a group of seasoned musicians hit me up needed a front man and I did the band ALIEN8 for about 3 good years and as always which seems to be a curse of Raleigh bands that is to play together long enough to make an EP or full length CD and then disintegrate the band.

  On this 🌜 well I think I 😍 pretty damn good. About to head out to the dicotecha on ladies night🥰. Going to do a little dancing✨. Steal a 💋 or ✌️. Fall in ♥️ & get my 💔 all through this night💘. With a wallet full of 💲. Not even a hoard of ☣️  could stop me. I talked & dance with a few 🇩🇴. Fell in love with a 🇨🇴 got a 🇨🇺 phone number. Got a few shots of tequila with some 🇪🇬 . And finally at the end of the night hooked up with a 🇧🇷.

  Then Time Slips into the present and my world implodes it's almost like a ripple effect. Had to run in with law enforcement then of course the evildoers of the world decide to show their asses. At the same time I wore my right hip out so from April 2021 to August 2022 I was on crutches waiting to get a hip replacement, don't feel bad for me. I had fun wearing it out. Now that hurdle has been jumped. Went to the Grand on this album.

  You know some of my friends former bandmates even my closest of Ken become brainwashed politically speaking that is. And just to let everyone know where I myself stand, I am A.E...
