How do you make your firm more competitive within the recording studios industry?
The combination of who I can bring to the table in terms of side musicians and services, what I know, can hear and imagine about your music and recording, combined with a great price point and lakefront location make Savage Tunes irresistible!

Tell us something about your personal life that makes you interesting, such as volunteer work for a good cause, an exciting hobby, past achievements, etc.
I've played the trumpet professionally for close to 30 years. I performed with Michael Jackson when I was 18 and since have worked with The O'Jays, The Spinners, Tony Bennett, Burt Bacharach, Tania Maria and many others. I have a 4 year old son, a wife and love to fish in the lake I live on.

A totally doable thing, which is to end starvation.
