Hollywood Homies:
Here are some links to a close knit group people & bands I "grew up with" in Hollywood. We hung out together, we partied together, we played shows together, we dominated the local LA scene together, and we always supported each other. I'm proud to call these peeps my friends and I wish them nothing but the best:

Dig Jelly - Rayko is the the other sister I never had. I played guitar for her band for a while - played some awesome shows, and did some studio work with them. Check out Rayko & Dig Jelly - the hardest working band in Hollywood.
Locke N Load - JT & John Locke are my favorite Hollywood party buds. At our first party together, at a suite at the Holiday Inn in Burbank, the whole 18 story hotel was evacuated because of our antics. A good time was had by all. JT & Johnny are currently working their brand of punky, raunchy rock'n roll from Portland, OR.
Taka - Taka used to play with Bombchild and Forty Deuce. We've supported each other's bands forever, and he's a great guy. He's currently a much sought after tattoo artist in Hollywood. Next time you're there and need a tattoo, stop by and see Taka - tell him Toggo sent you.

Producer Homies:
Here's some links to music professionals who helped me define my sound...they also made it possible for me to make these great recordings by way of their graceous production deals, when my ass was too broke to even touch quality like this:

Matt Pakucko (Goo Goo Dolls, Def Leppart, DMX) - Amazingly talented producer/engineer with a brand new, state of the art studio just opened in the San Fernando valley, CA. Matt helped me record/produce "Head over heels", "Sonic Boom", "Monday Morning" and more.

Jeff Gross - Another Hollywood talent I am grateful to have worked with. Runs an awesome and successful studio in Tarzana, CA. Jeff helped me record/produce "I want u2 know" and "Mr. Tibbs", alongside grammy-winning producer Mattie Spindell (Motley Crue).

Bryan Zee - Yet another wonderful LA producer/engineering talent. Bryan helped me record & produce "Jamie".

Mattie Spindell - Mattie is a grammy-winning engineer (for Santana's Supernatural), but perhaps most known for engineering the multi-million-selling album "Dr. Feelgood" by Motley Crue, as well as being Rick Sprinfield's engineer/producer the past 5-6 years. Mattie worked with Jeff Gross and myself to produce Mr. Tibbs and I want u2 know.
