SEEKING

ABOUT

I play both electric & the upright bass, & can read music. My goal is to be in & apart of an original music project, & not just some hired gun...although, I am available for hire as well ; ) I can play all styles, but some better than others. I am mostly looking for a project to motivate me/us at the end of a very long work day...especially during the winter months...something upbeat...something with a bit drive. Looking to play shows once or twice a month.

I'm open to a lot of genres, but the main thing for me is it's gotta be upbeat with some drive! Not interested in long touring gigs off the west coast, or investing a lot of money I/we don't have, into recording a demo that we can easily do ourselves. Been there, done that...while it was extremely fun, it was very expensive & took me one hot minute to recover from that debt.

I'm always looking for solid drummers to connect with! Even if it's just you (the drummer) & I, let's get together & lock some sh*t down!!

Also, you can look me up on most major social networking sites by putting "tkeila" after the dot com slash. Including other music sites like GigMor, FB, & T w i t t e r. I was constantly being put in jail on IG, so no more of that. I use social media for music and art only. No politics!

You can here some of the projects that I've been apart of on S o u n d C l o u d . Don't forget to check out some of the Y o u T u b e videos too.

s o u n d c l o u d . com/soundsvisualpdx - One of my current projects. It's a lot of experimenting at the moment, so check back for more tunes soon.

s o u n d c l o u d . com/tkeila - This is my personal page with 2 different projects featured on it. The Gore Horsemen & Tefflon...yes, spelled with 2 f's. The Gore Horsemen were a craft beer fueled band where we kicked you in the teeth & you wanted more...because most thought we were rockabilly...but we gave you something so much more & completely different. Tefflon was much more mellower, singer-songwriter stuff, where the singer-songwriter loved & wanted everyone to contribute in their own personal way.

Influences

Too many to name! And the "4 Music Genres" I had to pick. . . I tried pickin'em all, but it wouldn't let me. But I can assure you it's not Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift...or anything pop related for that matter. I just wanted to pick something outta the ordinary from the PDX scene.
