Derek Allen + Musician in Orlando, FL

SEEKING

ABOUT

From the time I unwrapped my first guitar to now I've always known that I wanted to either be making music for the rest of my life or helping others do it. When it comes to music, my style varies between Metal, Rock, Punk, and all of the subgenres in between. I'm currently interested in forming a Blues/Garage Rock band with the influences of The Von Bondies, Cage The Elephant and a little Classic Rock like that of Type O Negative, Black Stone Cherry etc. I'm very professional about my music and take it seriously however if there's no fun in it then why play? Definitely looking for band where we can have fun playing our music and going far with it.
