About

I have been playing guitar since '98. Currently, I play rhythm/lead guitar and do backing vocals for a metal band. However, this project seems to be dissolving so I'm looking to start fresh. I would love to do another metal project, but I really want to start an industrial group. I also play rhythm guitar and do back vocals in a 3 piece acoustic cover band on the side. I have a beginner keyboard and enjoy learning new things with it and even gigged with it in my acoustic band, but I am by no means a keyboard/piano player. Vocally, my style is metal, but I do sing a bit and am getting better playing in my acoustic project. I enjoy playing on drums as well, but again, I do not consider myself a drummer. I have some recording experience along with about 5 years of gigging under my belt.

Metal is my passion, so it is a big influence on my style. I would love to incorporate my influences into a very energetic industrial band. If you like bands similar to mine get at me. If you're into keyboards/programming, bass guitar, or a drummer, get at me.
