This is an autobiograpy with no reliable sources in the article. I've removed a lot of self-sourced, self-promotion but there's not much left. I could only find references for this musician/programmer that are connected with organizations he is a part of (employer, club, etc.) - no third-party sources with in-depth coverage to establish WP:BIO.

Previous AFD in 2011 weakly failed with only 3 comments, two of which are that his discography includes releases on notable labels. It appears that he is a sessions musician on most if not all of these recordings which does not support WP:MUSIC notability. Toddst1 (talk) 20:59, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - Note that the musician notability rules were looser in 2011 than now. But even back then, editors should have detected that this article is an attempted personal promotion page created by the musician himself or a supporter. It violates WP:NOTRESUME and probably WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. And despite a long career as a trusty sideman and accompanist, he has no significant and reliable coverage in his own right. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:38, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
