Started out on viola, then picked up guitar when I started high school, then bass and drums followed. Vocals have just always been there- can sing, rap, scream.

Began working with computer-based recording around the same time I started playing guitar; recorded, produced and released 6-song EP with one band, recorded, produced and released full-length (13 songs) solo debut in 2006 and followed up with a 7-song EP in 2009. Have recorded demos for other bands and artists.

Preferences for "role" (greatest to least):

-Guitar (rhythm or lead)
-Backing vocals (singing, screaming, rapping)
-Bass
-Lead vocals
-Drums

I'm looking for musicians with whom to collaborate or start a full-fledged band. I'm also willing to jump into an existing group if needed.
