Very much in his prime with his music, Chad began his journey at the age of 15 years when his mother gifted him an Ibanez RG6 and line 6 spider practice amp, which he played until the age of 18. Chad put the guitar down for a while until his 28th birthday when his mother bought him a Peavy Rockmaster Marvel. He still has it to this day because it definitely ignited a fire for his now well known passion that weâve all come to admire. Chadâs drive in this world is fueled by his son, his mother, and his small circle of ride or die friends. Depending on the groove, inspiration, and his mood, Chad also enjoys Classic Rock, Hip hop, Reggae, EDM, and Jazz Fusion. You can find Chadâs guitar talents with Empty Shell and Coprolaia in the Big-cartel pages, Bandcamp page, YouTube, and any music streaming service like Spotify. Now letâs jump in the PIT!

A STAGE MINDSET:
Chad-
âI live in the moment when Im playing live itâs my way to release whatever Iâm feeling at the time adrenaline and passion I have at the time. Both of my bands kind of have a theme to our art so I try and paint the best picture to whatever song Iâm playing.â
