Hello Everyone,
Marcus Aurelius Skapars here. I've worked in many different settings. I work best with high energy and creative artisans. Whether it be others trying to create something together as a group or playing for someone who has a vision and purpose for their craft and solo aspirations. Experience has been with many genres. I believe if you see yourself as this kind of individual described above than I would have no problems being able to create the next great record or performance.
