SEEKING
Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
My name's Derek. I'm a 28 year old male vocalist looking to start an original band. I'm seeking guitarists, bassists, drummers, and keyboardists. My goal is to put together a set's worth of material and start gigging locally. Let's inspire each other and see where it takes us.
I already have about 8 songs that are fully or partially written. But moving forward, I'd like my band mates to collaborate in writing, especially for their respective instruments.
My writing is mostly influenced by indie/alt/prog rock. I've been practicing seriously as a vocalist for the past 3 years. I think you'll find in my demos that I have a solid foundation and that I'm willing to spend the time necessary to grow. I also have experience as a paid musician: I've gigged and recorded as a drummer since I was 13, nothing too serious, but there are recordings of my drumming on streaming platforms which I can share if you're interested.
