SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a musician who has been playing for over 13 years now. Guitar is my primary instrument though I play a little bit of a bunch more. I took a lot of theory in school, have studied with composers and have played in wind ensembles, jazz bands, orchestra pits ect. so know my way around music quite well. Up till now my focus has been mostly cover bands/gigs as I had trouble finding original musicians worth the worry. I am here in LA to start said original band and to make a dent in the music scene. Please check out my originals I've uploaded (keep in mind they're just demos with me playing everything and mostly 1st and 2nd takes) and if it interests you feel free to contact me!

EQUIPMENT

Let's see... I've got a Taylor 310ace and a good ole' Les Paul Standard (cherry sunburst). I've also got a Yamaha DTXPRESS IV electric drum set that comes in handy for recording demos at home. Then I just use a mini-dv input into my computer and record and mix in my professional film editing program (FCP). Works just fine and with additional plug-ins I can do pretty much any effect and automation you can do in something like Logic or Pro Tools.
