I took piano lessons as a child for 2 years. During my middle school years, I played the alto saxophone in band. In high school, I discovered my passion for metal/heavier music. I played drums in high school for 3 years. I started playing guitar in senior year of high school. In college, I took lessons for a year with Pebber Brown (taught Buckethead) in Claremont. I played guitar for 10 years until I switched to bass.

I am able to read and write music in standard notation and tablature. I learn music by ear. I use Ableton to record my compositions. I am able to write/record all instruments except for vocals in my own home studio.
I am looking for other professional musicians who would like to collaborate in either:
Original music - I am able to be contribute as a songwriter
Covers - Wedding/Corporate bands
Style: main genre that I listen to and/or prefer to play is Djent or Death Metal
I am interested in gigs, not jams.
