I am a musician. I have been writings songs for 8 years and have quite a bit of original material. I am looking for people to write music with. I am passionate and dedicated. I am a guitar player through and through, that being said, i have been doing a lot of singing lately and I have been discovering my voice. I never realized how much I enjoy singing. I also write my own lyrics. I have been falling more into the role of singer/rhythm guitarist. Though I love playing guitar a WHOLE lot, I've come to realize that as long as it has to do with music I will probably enjoy it. I am always open to learning new instruments and new ways to play the ones I know. Please get a hold of me if you would like to chat or perhaps collaborate if appropriate. :)

EQUIPMENT
I have an multiple electric guitars but only one amp. I have multiple acoustic guitars. I have a PA system with two nice speakers. I have a microphone (with a cord and stand) I also have a bass that I plug into the PA. I have no bass amp so it's the best I can do. I have several cords a cry baby and a footswitch for the amp. I also have a drum kit and I have access to an old beat up set of keys.

It's So Loud
It's So Loud Year: 2013 Genre: Alternative
Me and my partner in crime; Andrew Obrien. Brooks (me) singing and playing lead guitar at the end. Andrew playing rhythm throughout as well as some back up vocals. It's So Loud Silence is something that we've forgotten to need. All of this bustling is now our routine. The silence in nothing will be our peace Silence is something don't you believe? All of these noises are unnecessary. All just distractions to keep me from me. I believe silence is what we all need. So turn off the radio and turn off the T.V. Turn off everything! And start listening! Words are just tools to describe what you think. Silence is paper your mind is the ink. Sitting in quiet my mind becomes free. Sitting in silence my mind can release. But so many noises keep surrounding me. So many sounds. So many sounds. So many sounds. So many sounds are beckoning me. Recommending. I give it up, don't think. Stop listening! White noise, black ink. Stop listening!
