About blueninjastar

I've been actively involved in music since the age of 9 when I was given a drum kit by some family members. I played drums until I was 15 when it became obvious that I wasn't cut out for drumming (I got tossed out of the band I was in!). I then started playing bass and continued to do so as my primary instrument for many years. As the bass player for All the Madmen, I achieved my most significant level of success. I made 2 full-lenght records with the Madmen and played hundreds of live shows all over Southern California. In the mean time, I was adding to my abilities to sing and play guitar. After leaving All the Madmen, I began focusing on writing my own material and soon became interested in starting my own home studio.

Now, I'm continuing to persue my own music career and am honing my skills as a engineer/producer. My eventual goal is to start an independent record label geared towards empowering artists to achieve new levels of success without having to sell their souls to the cut-throat record industry. Any guess who I'll sign first? ;)
