Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other.ABOUT
Dedicated, experienced and passionate lyricist/singer in search of musicians who are willing to work hard, master their art, and keep pushing to create and preserve true-authentic music.
To me, music is all about loosening up and having fun, but at the same time there should be a proper balance with prosperity. Many have dreams and goals, but they don't want to put the time and work in to achieve them. I however, believe in working hard to earn something and not sitting around, expecting it to just happen.
I'm looking to join, or to start a band that's primarily rock based, but has elements of other genres as well (as opposed to limiting the music and being just another rock band). Also, I would like to do this full-time and eventually make a professional career out of it by starting a label, and possibly doing a joint-venture with a somewhat larger label for promotion and distribution.
If I'm the singer/lyricist you might be looking for to start a group, or to join your group, you can e-mail me at supremesuperfly () outlook - I have a fairly flexible schedule so just let me know when you're available. Send me your number, or I'll send you mine, and we'll work a little meeting out. I believe a band has to have the perfect chemistry - so if things go well when we talk, we can go from there, and if the vibe isn't present, then we obviously won't. It never hurts to at least try :)

Influences
LYRICAL INFLUENCES: Everyone from Bob Dylan and Jim Croce, to Rakim and GZA. I'm influenced by writers who are original, thought-provoking and who are razor sharp with word play, interior/exterior rhyme schemes, verse development and overall craftsmanship and dexterity.
VOCAL INFLUENCES: Brandon Boyd, Mike Patton, Stevie Wonder, Maynard James Keenan, Jeff Buckley and Roger Daltrey
