ABOUT

I'm a lead guitarist looking looking for a band in the DFW area. I have recently moved here from Boston after receiving a degree in guitar performance from Berklee College of Music. My preferred genre of music is neoclassical heavy metal, but I'm down to play any of its sub-genres or power metal. When it comes to soloing, I prefer to improv or write my own.
