If you know me from the boxing world, you know I run hard. I coach private clients every day. I help people fight through life, build discipline, and find their edge. But what many are just now learning is this: I also manage and perform in one of the most explosive rock tribute bands in Florida: 🎸 GODSMACKED – The Ultimate Godsmack Tribute.

I’ve spent my life balancing two passions: 🥊 Boxing and 🎸 Live rock performance. Both take discipline. Both take soul. And both demand you show up ready to deliver — no matter what.

🎤 We’re Not Just Playing Songs — We’re Bringing the Full Godsmack Experience

GODSMACKED isn’t just a bar band or weekend cover act. We’re a full-production, arena-level tribute delivering all the sights, sounds, and power of a real Godsmack show. Our mission from day one has been to recreate the intensity, energy, and tribal heartbeat of Godsmack — live on stage.

We bring:

Massive video wall visuals
Precision lighting + crushing live sound
The iconic “Batalla de los Tambores” (Godsmack’s famous drum battle)
A lineup of pros that play tight and hit hard

🤘 Our Second Show? Revolution Live. Packed Wall to Wall.

In only our second show ever, we played the legendary Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale alongside HARDWIRED (the country’s top Metallica tribute) and packed the house. Fans were shoulder-to-shoulder, singing “Voodoo” and “I Stand Alone” at full volume. The pit was moving. The energy was next level. That night, we proved something: GODSMACKED can hold the big stage. And we’re just getting started.

Our next show brings us to Boca Black Box, joining forces with Human Clay: The Ultimate Creed Tribute for a one-night rock takeover. We were just featured in the Boca Raton Tribune, which called the event “the ultimate rock tribute experience.”

💀 Why GODSMACKED Is Different

There are other Godsmack tribute bands out there. But here’s the truth: We’re different because we treat this band the way I treat my boxing studio — like a mission. It’s not casual. It’s not half-assed. We bring the same fire, precision, and presence to the stage that I demand in the ring. And we’re winning fans — fast.

🎸 Our Live Setlist Includes:

When Legends Rise
1000 HP
Cryin’ Like a Bitch
Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
The Enemy
Keep Away
Moon Baby
Whiskey Hangover
Bad Religion
Voodoo
Batalla de los Tambores (Drum Battle)

Straight Out of Line
Whatever
Speak

I Stand Alone

🚀 What’s Next?

We’re building something real. The shows are growing. The media is picking it up. The fans are responding. This is more than a side gig — it’s a serious rock production, and we’re going national. If you’re a booker, promoter, or hard rock fan — now is the time to pay attention. We’re GODSMACKED. And we’re not going anywhere.
