Born and raised in New York City, this ex-pat fled the decaying music scene of Lower Manhattan in the wake of Sept 2001,
only to find himself nearly stranded in Oslo, Norway. And so it was that he began to summon, weave and orchestrate
his international confederacy of "lounge-noir" and "swamp-rock" musicians.
