Drumbeats In My Head by Analog

The group became very popular, playing many shows in Bakersfield,Los Angeles California. Two of these shows were with opening band Cake and Cypress Hills Sen Dog's side project. During this period, Analog played with musicians like Ademas's Kris Coles at venues like LA's Whiskey A Go-Go. This was a growing period one could not forget.

Music being his passion he mastered his insturments;learning guitar, bass, keyboard, sequenceing and recording techniques. Producing records with Zach Davidson for local band Plebian Cry (now Epic Records band VENDETTA RED) and on his own music was becoming a way of life!

Times change and adventure calls. With this came the opportunity to travel to Europe to join a new band in Ireland called Guava. Again the chemistry was electric and shows started to pile up. While in Guava, Analog wrote and recorded songs for the band. He secured the position as one of the lead singers . Known for a brilliant live show the band played all over the country from Belfast's Katy Daly's to Galways's famous Roshin Dubh, Corks Opera House and back again. Some of the attendees included actors Matt Damon, Cameron Diaz , and record executive Louis Walsh. Guava built a strong following and sparked the interests of Origin Records, This label featured the band on two compilations. These compilations included other acts such as Ruth Dillion, Charis, The Devlins and The Four Of Us.

During this time in Europe, Analog found time to produce three of his own independently released cd's: Sound From A Ribbon , Feng Sway and Oh Those LoFi Days. On these CDs, he sequenced beats, played guitar, bass and performed the vocals.

He helped form, played drums and produced with Galway band Fuktifino. This bands analog produced demo was reviewed in HotPress by Jakie Hayden; "Lashings of passion and energy!" and in Kerange; "Hail Fuktifino!"

After Guava's release of the four song E.P. "Sonic Segregation", DJ Dave Fanning saw Guava's buzz and invited the band to record a session at the 2FM Studios in Dublin. Thier music was aired nationwide in the summer of 2000.

Analog is influenced by many different styles of music. Folk, hip-hop, early soul, and punk play a role in his songs development. His songs are accented with eclectic touches while still retaining a commercial outcome and feel that is all his own. His records keep the listener interested and entertained while getting the emotion across.

He is constantly evolving yet staying current with his art and music. Always experimenting with combinations of sounds and styles to create a unique and distinct expression!
