His work extends beyond ROLLOVER, collaborating with industry greats like Roy Marinell, co-writer of “Werewolves of London”, Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long”, and Warren Zevon’s “Excitable Boy”.

As a producer and recording engineer, Louie has crafted ROLLOVER’s albums and worked on various projects for other artists. His solo work, including the album “Twenty Fingers”, further showcases his musical depth and versatility.
