“What you want
Baby, I got it
What you need
Do you know I got it?
All I'm askin'
Is for a little respect when you get home (just a little bit)
Hey baby (just a little bit) when you get home
(Just a little bit) mister (just a little bit)”
-anonymous studio guitarist from Macon, GA who never did come forward to claim credit for writing one of the arguably greatest pop songs of all time.
I HEARD SO MUCH GOOD ABOUT YOU
IT’S NICE TO FINALLY MEET
I’m a natural builder, creative producer, maker of things and experiences. I think liberation comes from exploration, optimism, and innovation, and my life has been dedicated to just that, mostly helping other people realize their dreams. I’m most comfortable immersed in a new subject, culture, or piece of music.
Generally I have three plates spinning and two projects on the back burner, and this is the unifying home for all of it.
You’ll find links to external sites for things already up and running, info about my new endeavors, social media feeds, ways to get in touch, and (hopefully) lots of creative zeal.
Current Projects
MERIDIAN ESTATE MANAGEMENT
Fractional household and estate management practice for Bay Area families. We provide ongoing, senior-level operational support, from running day-to-day estate ops and managing residential builds and remodels to coordinating family offices and helping entrepreneurs wrangle large projects, on a retainer basis.
bABY GRAND ASSEMBLY
Artist management and production house focused on developing and nurturing creative work the world needs.
MY COLOMA
An original musical that I can’t actually talk about publicly just yet. But trust me. I’m in deep.
NEW ALBUM: THIS IS THE TRUTH
A solo record I’ve been working on for a million years that keeps changing shape. It’s the same piano and vocal-forward sung poetry as on my first record, but this one’s grown up with real roots and the wisdom of deeply-lived experience. It’s very much inspired by the narrative chordal honey of Robert Glasper, the sharp vocal authenticity and precision of Laura Mvula and the confessional, vocal-forward bluesy cyclical song structures perfected by Fink.
I’m working under the pseudonym, North Fork these days. Inspired by the badass-only whitewater rafting leg of the American River which runs through the foothills of the Sierras.
FOREVER HOUSE
I’m building a house that doubles as an events venue in Northern California, currently in design. This one’s gonna take awhile. As soon as there’s something interesting to reveal, I’ll write about it!
