ABOUT

Hello! I have been in the Hardcore scene for over two decades. I've been a gigging vocalist, bassist and keyboardist. Most recently, I'm a solo artist, influenced by Pop-punk, Hardcore, and Hip-hop. I compose the music and lyrics, playing guitars, synth, bass, and programming drums. I record, mix and master to the best of my ability in my apartment. I can play bass while singing/yelling. I have a few ideas:
- Old-school Hardcore/Punk band ("Druid Ghost" is my experiment with that on this profile)
- Metallic Hardcore like Crown of Thornz, Icemen, Krutch, End It
- Pop-punk with raspy vocals ("Frustrated" and "Bratz Dolls" on this profile), I'd even like to sing these with someone playing acoustic guitar
 
I'm single with no children, I don't do drugs, I don't smoke, I drink socially, I'm free on weekends (and weeknights if necessary), and I'm willing to split money on rehearsal studios if you don't have a practice spot. Looking forward to hearing from you!
