One man, many ideas. I began as a child playing with synths & tape machines in an old church, as I got older I began making cassette mixtapes in the late 90s… I got a guitar when I turned 15 & learned how to play by covering Chili Peppers and Radiohead tunes.. in college I went full force with building a studio, studying business and setting up a record label. PalmTop Giants is the culmination & continuation of my love and desire to create pop songs that blur the line between rock, experimentation, and electronica.

Yes! The second PTG release will be fairly quick (2022) and the tracks are a bit more raucous… huge guitars.. blaring drum machines… gnarly bass lines
