Josephizayea + Musician in Taunton, MA

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am 25 years old, and have two professional EP's under my belt. visit ./structurefails & ./throughtheashesmusic to listen to MP3's

Throughout my time behind the mic, I have opened for Winds of Plague, Whitechapel, Suicide Silence, Emmure, After The Burial, Bleeding Through, Within The Ruins, The Breathing Process, Waking the Cadaver, Despised Icon, In This Moment, Symphony X, Vanna, For Today, Stray From The Path, Deception Of A Ghost, I Am Abomination, From First to Last, Greeley Estates, and more.

I have contacts for several venues, and various contacts for quality photos, recording, and more.

I have a stable job, a reliable vehicle, and a VERY strong work ethic.

My stage presence is fair, but for what I lack in my stage presence, I make up for with what I put out behind the mic and my overall ability to work a crowd.

I live in Taunton MA, less than 5 minutes away from Bandstand Live, and a half hour from Providence, RI. I also have extensive experience booking fundraiser DIY showcases.

My screaming power and range are both vast, my melodic singing is limited but solid.

I am seeking a project that is willing to practice at least two times a week, is serious about timeliness, attendance, and deadline meeting. Basically a band that is a band first, and everything else second. I don't use drugs, and I very rarely drink. Screaming and singing over heavy and talented musicians is the only high I need. I basically just want to be in a band that pumps out good music efficiently, plays shows aggressively and dominates the scene.(This includes limited touring in the summertime.) I bring a lot to the table, and want to work with musicians who do the same.

If interested, respond back via email. izayea785at
