BIO: Im a web developer by day and Im the one responsible for the look and feel of
www.MusicGameAuthors.com. This is what I do all day every day and I have over 7 years experience in Web Development, everything from simple brochure sites to large e-commerce sites as well as multimedia band sites and everything in between. I have over 250 website clients and some of the sites Ive worked on in the
Rock Band Community are:
www.TeamCena.com,
www.RockBandKickBox.com/store,
www.ScenicCityCustoms.com ,
www.NewEnglandMusicSupply.com
Im also a drummer and hand percussionist and have been banging on Djembes, doumbeks and congas for over 15 years and have had the pleasure to play with as a full member some small bands as well as sit in and jam with on stage and in the studio with a couple of touring /recording artists. I also sing fairly well and can do most songs on Rock Band at the expert level.
I started out life as a graphic artist working in the screen printing industry for 16 years until the chemicals being used, started making me very ill and the place I was working for didnt want to go to a more earth and employee friendly solution for cleaning their screens. Ive been drawing ever since I was a kid and I tell people now that I make my living by "coloring" and man I have the coolest, biggest, baddest set of "crayons" ever! I even have screen credits for 3d Modeling for a indie film called:
The Helix: Loaded check it out on IMDB
When I heard about the Harmonix and MTV Networks proposed
Rock Band Network, I knew this is what I had been waiting for my whole life;
a chance to work with bands on their music with my God given skills and provide that music to the millions of rock band gamers and fans out there. So I created
Music Game Authors to bring that dream alive and get my skills put to more use than just doing web development
My forum signature has now become Music Game Authos Motto:
"Why leash Your Imagination In the first place!" We are always told to "Unleash your imagination" I say "Why Leash it in the first place?
Again I want to thank Harmonix, MTV and the score hero guys for making this whole
Rock Band Network venture a reality. I truly believe it will revolutionize not only the game but the music industry itself and give bands who DESERVE recognition a new and exciting venue to make that happen.
