ABOUT

Hey everyone. my name is Levon and i am a serious musician. i don't have time for games or drama. i want to be in a professional band with the potential of someday of becoming famous like Jill Scott or the Police. i love to play just about any style of music but currently seeking to play neo-soul,funk, jazz(jill scott meets the police) zenyatta mondatta stuff. i want the music to groove. they say that's impossible, but i disagree. its all about the people, the energy, the vibe and feeling. i know what i want, now, what do you want. I wanna Groove. then lets bring it and bring it together. get at me: fiveoh.1 i am looking for musicians for a project i been trying to put together for a very long time. I believe later on in the year i can make it happen. looking for a jazz-funk,fusion, bassist,sick ass keyboard/jazz piano player, a woman who can sang, not sing, and a kick ass jazz/guitar player who also plays hip hop, funk, anda violinist, floutist, percussionist and trumpet player. If you live in the city, you know that people are trying to kill all the music in this town and replace all the dive bars with bogus ass restaurants and cafes. lets fight for our right to play music in this city simply because we live here. were tax paying citizens and deserve to play good happy music right here in the heart of the Bay Area...San Francisco its what we do. this city is thirsty for something new and vibrant and i want us to be the one band that can do this. if you think this is bullsh*t, then keep it moving. if you believe this can happen, please get in contact with me and lets see what happens..I am very serious about accomplishing this. its just a matter of time before i meet the right people who are dedicated to bringing it as well as i am. If you are interested please get in touch with me. i have a place set up with full Backline. all you have to do is bring yourself and your Axe. lets see where it goes. Serious Musicians Only.
