About

I am an 18 year old who has a passion for music and would like to progress it from a hobby to a career. I have been in multiple bands all having something individual and creative to offer. Bands I have been in: Socalled Freedum (punk & hardcore), Hijacking Harry (ska punk & hardcore), Dream Inspired By Flight (post-Rock & Progressive), Waste Of a Jason (improvisational psychedelic nightcore), the quota (alternative & folk), Celtic Cult of Death (from metal to free metal), Stabbing Hillary (Mathcore Indie). I have always tried to push my self as a musician and as a band member, I am interested at breaking my comfort zone to help increase my musical palette. I have always wanted to push myself beyond my mental and physical boundaries of my instrument and just music in general. If it is a challenge I am totally still game. I know also by playing with better musicians I that I become better and would love to have more of that experience of being the worst at what I do (not to sound conceded, but i walk into guitar center, kids are raping drum sets (in a bad way), I start playing and every time everyone goes silent and stares, I hate seeing and hearing bout that but I feel it iterates my comfort with my instrument. I am more interested in a garage band keeping it real over a band changing to sell.
