BIO:
Born and raised south of

playing is a virtual “GUMBO” of influences. From an award winning
marching and classical school career to playing all styles of music
around the world with some of the industry’s greatest, he has proven
that one can have chops AND groove. “When you are born in the swamps
and are surrounded by so many musical elements and live and breath the
air and culture of south Louisiana and New Orleans, you can’t not
have that flavor and spice in EVERYTHING you do”, stated Ian in a recent
interview.
