ABOUT

Hear my music at ./trueduende

I don't like to label myself to strictly one style of music. I play metal, blues, jazz, rock, classical, flamenco, and i'm good at all of them. I'm looking for any well talented musicians that maybe would want to play any one of these styles although I do lean more towards having a set of musicians who are into flamenco.

Right now I play as a solo artist and I'm finishing up a demo of mine. The style I play on it is a more modernized flamenco. I've played many concerts in my years as a musician since the days when I used to be in a metal band to the present playing my flamenco style solo guitar.

I am also looking for a set of musicians who would be willing to play the songs I write but also contribute their own creativity to it at least for experimenting some new sounds. I'm very open minded and easy to get along with and it would help if you are to. You must also understand I'm a bit of a perfectionist and sometimes need creative control with some of my music. But i'm still usually always open to suggestions.

I appreciate all different musical talents as long as it really is talent. I'm not some kind of guitar prodigy but I do consider myself at a professional level and would like to work with others who are of the same level. As long as you're serious about your music I would be more than interested to hear from you; if you are interested at all please call or email me and we'll set something up.
