Back in the 90's I was a co-founder of the multi-platinum band Rusted Root. Our song "Send Me On My way was featured in the movies "Ice Age' and "Matilda" and the song was also the first song on Mars where it woke up NASA's Mars Rover.
My mission is to help people enjoy life more through engaging with music.
I'd love the opportunity to show you how.
