SpaffDaddy was born in Florida but grew up in Anchorage, Alaska. At the young age of 12, he first heard “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix on the radio while riding with his mom. SpaffDaddy asked his mom who that was and she replied “Oh, that’s Jimi Hendrix baby, some guy that played guitar.” From that moment, he was hooked on music and became obsessed with learning how to play guitar. SpaffDaddy got his first guitar at 14 and spent the next 18-months playing guitar with all of his free time setting aside video games, baseball, collecting cards and comics, he was hooked! With music coursing through his blood, he formed his first blues band and began playing professional gigs at the age of 16. Spaffdaddy now fronts his own band playing original blues, rock and blues rock material. His influences include Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Doyle Bramhall II and Chevelle. Spaffdaddy plays in his own self described genre of punk rock blues, and it is the evolution of the roots blues and rock music that he grew up and still to this day listens to.

Summarizing the experience of recording his first original album titled “Make Your Mark” Spaffdaddy says, “…this record finally feels like I’m comfortable in my own skin, like I don’t have anything to prove other than trying to express myself as honestly as I can. As an artist, writer and human being, I’m in a good place, and I think I can allow this flow of music to come out and form a real body of work that my fans and I can appreciate. I’m thrilled to have them go on this journey with me.”
