In 2010, he performed on an alternative version of the song "Hollywood Tonight" for the posthumous Michael Jackson album "Michael". The track was produced by Jackson collaborator Ron "Neff-U" Feemster, but was ultimately not released.[4]

Annually since 2012, he has performed with Faster Pussycat on the Monsters of Rock cruise. Two such cruises are planned for 2016, with Faster Pussycat scheduled to perform on both, making them the only band to appear on every MoR cruise to this point. [5]

In May 2015, he appeared alongside two of his Faster Pussycat bandmates on VH1 Classic's's That Metal Show in the "Stump The Trunk" segment. In August 2015, he performed at Riki Rachtman's's Cathouse Live, a festival that reunited many of the bands from the Cathouse nightclub's heyday, held at Irving Meadows Amphitheater in Irvine, CA. Later in the year, he served as musical director at the Rock and Shock horror and music festival in Worcester, Massachusetts.[6][7]

Since its inception in January 2015, he has been a regular featured performer at Ultimate Jam Night, a weekly music showcase held at Lucky Strike Live in Hollywood, CA.
