ABOUT

I’ve been out of it for a while but my plan is to shake off the rust, re-string, clean the equipment and focus the mind on getting back into music. If you’re interested in me joining your group or starting a new group, contact me and lets brainstorm. The last "originals" band I was in is Separation in Richmond VA (about 5 years ago, listen on ). If you aren’t into that heavy of a sound, don’t fret! I’m quite open-minded to most every genre except Country, Blues and Rap. I’ve done lots of studio recording but I really love the feeling of turning on crowds of screaming fans; much more fun! I’m into originals but I also like any cover of any of my favorite bands listed in "influences". I’d like to co-write with other musicians to come up with a serious and melodic but heavy sound. & find a vocalist that can sing in many ranges with passion! You can find out a little more about me and link to Separation from:
