SEEKING

ABOUT

My main instrument is the keyboard but I also play a reasonably decent rhythm guitar and I do backing vocals if needed (Tenor register). Being a keyboardist is much more than just playing the parts right but also about getting the right sounds and I take pride in my sound design abilities, (see my videos for context). Other than that I posses local/nternational touring experience and I also do studio work at home. For more info send a text msg(4787965646).
