Elton Johnny + Musician in Albuquerque, NM

SEEKING

ABOUT

About me:
I create songs in many genres including rock, pop, spanish and country, but prefer soft rock. Also do some cover. I sing, play guitar and piano.
Performing is about connecting on a human level with the audience in such a way that the audience feels important, and their quest for joy and happiness is being fulfilled. This is the feeling I reach for as I practice or write music. In this way, practice is a welcomed pleasure rather than a chore.

Flexible, easy going, cooperative and committed people are a pleasure to make music with. If you are somehow connected in the music business, or would like to help out, Welcome.

Influences

Many bands most by radio growing up. This may be why I write in many genres, such is my creative process.
Currently, in my case, the best way to create new unique sonics is to limit the influences of covers. This is difficult because cover is well designed and popular. Doing cover is a good way to develope great musician skills because of it's design. Limited vocals does not allow me to sing many songs I write or covers I would love to sing and therefore others will have to take on that task. All and all, it's the challenge of creating music that drives my passion into the next new song.

EQUIPMENT

Bring the instrument you play and we'll go from there. Lead vocals and back vocals are helpful too. If your interest is sound editing, video tasks, or anything related to performance and putting on a show, they are helpful as well. Taking on such challenges in the direction of your goals is a great step in skill development. I can assist creatively, technically and am familiar with some software.

Sam Phillips helped Elvis as Elvis helped Sam Phillips and they both waltzed into history. Can we do that? Maybe so.

Best journeys to you,
Elton.
