He has toured with his own and other bands, including as lead guitarist for the British group, Supertramp; and as one of Los Angeles’ elite “first call” session players.

His vast collection of movie soundtrack credits include The Crow and The Usual Suspects and he can be heard as a featured soloist in the Pixar film Ratatouille.
