His clients include Deep Purple, Allman Brothers, King Crimson, Blue Oyster Cult , Styx, Lynyrd Skynyrd, UFO, Dream Theater, Yngwie Malmsteen, Sepultura, Biohazard, The Tubes and many more. He was one of the artists selected for Woodstock 1994, has been interviewed by magazines and websites internationally.
