ABOUT

I have been playing solo for a while and feel like creatively and professionally the way to move forward now is to put a band together. I play guitar and sing. I'm looking for a drummer, bass player and guitarist that are willing to work with a variety of dynamics, some heavy some more mellow and acoustic. To start with I'd like to do some acoustic oriented stuff, especially for a recording project I have in mind and then eventually get heavier. I like to shift between heavier and more mellow kinds of stuff in what I play. I have around 3 albums worth of songs written, but I am interested in this being collaborative and musicians who can bring their own ideas to the table as well. I am really looking for people who can make a commitment to rehearse regularly, and be ready to start recording and performing relatively soon.

You can check out some of my music at ://./theanimusocean and also a band I played bass in at ://./atticoflove

I am a graduate student at Cal State Long Beach and live around Mar Vista. I am also into mountaineering.

I am not looking for hired musicians, but for people in it for the music. I would like to make money as a band though when possible, whether through performance, album sales etc.

I have been playing music for a long time and have confidence in my ability, my songwriting and my performance. I feel that I have interesting and powerful ideas and that with the right band we could make a good name for ourselves.

Please listen to some of the songs I have posted before contacting me. While they aren't quite the direction I want to go at the moment they'll give you an idea of what I'm about. If you are interested please respond with an email explaining your interest, experience etc. and include some samples of your playing. Thanks for checking this out and I look forward to hearing from you.
