Team Spirit was a punk rock band signed to Vice Records and Warner Bros. The band toured for many years, with bands such as The Joy Formidable, Surfer Blood, Motion City Soundtrack and Andrew WK and have licensing in TV shows such as The Vampire Diaries and Commercial Spots with Pepsi and McDonalds. The bands strength also lay in its creative content - with an expansive video and animation series to a cohesive element across all social platforms. The band dissolved after a touring back injury - they still remain friends!

Black Bell Records was a independent record label distributed by the Orchard (2010-2011) and then ADA (2012-2015). The label worked with burgeoning acts, most notably singing The Joy Formidable, Guards and Stepdad. From content creation, marketing and social media strategy / scheduling to recording production and meta data entry, the tasks and responsibilities ran the spectrum of the music industry. Licensing and Synch were the strongest arm of the label, securing many high level commercial, TV and Game licenses.

As a member of the original line-up I had the experience of a lifetime being part of the meteoric rise and a band. My duties ranged from synths and percussion on-stage to remixing some of the biggest artist (Beastie Boys, Teg and Sara, Phoenix) I got to tour the world countless times, play pretty much every major music festival as well as late night tv. I had artist relationships with Moog Music, Dave Smith, Korg, Vox and Ernie Ball and got to make lifelong friendships with musicians and music industry people a-like.
