Hey everyone, a young guy with a very obscure playing and singing style. Very influenced by Zappa and Beefheart, and have been practicing and recording nearly nonstop for 10 years or so. I would love to be in any band, as I just want to see how far I can push the boundaries of my playing. Also, I need someone with the same level of inspiration to create music, as well as the ability to do so. Hope to hear from ya guys :)

Influences
Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, my vocal stylings seems to be stemmed from my year long obsession with Jesus Christ Superstar (the original album, not the movie album). A few punk bands as well as jazz fusion influences. Other than Zappa, my guitar playing is half inspired by Thelonius Monk's approach to the piano
