RistiiLynn + Musician in Lafayette, IN

SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm an experienced musician, so say other people. I personally consider myself proficient, but I'm always trying to climb the echelon of musicianship, as it were. I have 8 years of playing stringed instruments, and a few years in percussion. I'm an ametuer engineer, and I mix and record my own albums and recordings for amusement and profession.

I only started songwriting in 2012, when I released my first album. I've released two others since then. I've played many gigs, but none of my bands have ever really made it, so to say, due to people dropping out. When I'm in a band, I can only hope for everyone in that band to be as committed as possible. Some say I take bands too seriously, but I genuinely just want for everyone to shine as brightly as they possibly can, and to be able to properly showcase the talents they have to the world.

My philosophy is that no band can succeed if you don't practice enough. I stagger practices but generally enjoy 3 to 4 practices a week. I'm interested in making being a musician my full-time job, and I hope you are, as well.

I'm left handed, atheist, but don't care if you're religious. Patently anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia. Anyone harboring any sort of unbridled, bigoted hatred is not the kind of person I would prefer to spend business and personal time with.
