I have been singing and performing just about as long as I can remember. I've literally done it all !!! Live, studio and touring. Jammed with and played in front of some big names, etc. I have a very, very strong voice with a very wide range of styles and abilities. I've done original and cover work. I still kick ass !! I have a very strong stage presence and know how to work an audience. I'm easy to get along with and fun but firm in my convictions when I'm in a band. I can bring a lot more to the table too ... let's talk if you like what you see and hear. My expectation levels are high for the musicianship of my band mates and I can put my money where my mouth is when it comes to singing. You need to be able to do the same with your instrument as well.
Influences:
Vocally my influences are Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, Dio, Phil Mogg, Freddie Mercury, Chris Cornell and Brian Johnson. My current favorite bands are Rammstein (gotta love those German production values), Shinedown (vocalist is one of the few, new "real" singers out there ... dude has pipes), Audio Slave (Chris Cornell is another influence and has a truly great / classic voice) and Disturbed (very creative, rhythmic and BIG, gotta love David Draiman's voice too).
Equipment List:
Full and awesome PA and killer outboard rack - Intelligent Lighting - Nice rehearsal space
