This Buffalo native started bangin' the skins in 1979 at the ripe old age of eleven. His playing represents the culmination of many musical influences and styles. He has been particularly inspired by the creativity and ingenuity of Peter Gabriel.

In 1986 Jules joined his first band, Thermal Breakdown, and performed with them for five years. In the nineties he became involved in multiple musical projects and enjoyed working in the studio. In 2001 he joined the sixties rock show band, The Psychodelix, and continues to enjoy a successful fan base with them in Western New York. In 2007 he met Carl, Tom and Ed, and has since become the thunderous, rock-solid backbeat of The Carl Motyka Band.".
