Bill's Story
I got my start in the music biz at independent label "Metal Blade Records" right out of High School. At that time it was a learning experience working for a company that dealt exclusively with Heavy Metal music. Some of the bright spots I had during that time was college radio, promotions and putting together compilations (like Metal Massacre for example)...From that I eventually signed: Angkor Wat, Sacred Reich and yes the "Goo Goo Dolls". I was most proud of those years because I was given an opportunity to travel, work with bands I saw in the clubs and meet other industry individuals from all over the world.
In 1990 I moved up to Capitol Records under a new regime where eventually I was a...Expand for more
ble to sign Texas alternative group "Butthole Surfers" and was also given a golden opportunity to work with heavy metal faves Exodus,Megadeth, Iron Maiden and many others.
After that short stint there were ZERO music industry gigs to be had anywhere. Once the '94 Northridge earthquake hit, all kinds of things changed from that point on. I did the band thing for a while, wrote a bunch of songs, worked on my artwork etc, but slowly found myself for some reason migrating into TV/Film work for the next 5 years or so to "make a living".
Presently I share my collection and try to put it to some use and DJ-ing on "Total Rock" radio.
I host a Monday internet show called "The Vault" on TOTALROCK.COM
