Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Saxophone, Keyboard, Background Singer, Harmonica, Electronic Music.ABOUT
Hello! I hope to perform soon, my original compositions (listen to my three demos to get an idea of my style: Tonight-NYC-Daddy). Hence, I'm looking for musicians who are interested in creating music. if you are a female vocalist that can sing in a bluesy Jazz style, and if you are an accomplished keyboard, bass, drum or sax player, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
That being said, think of me as songwriter, musician (lead guitarist and bassist), sound designer and recording engineer. I have been writing songs and gigging since the late 1970's. Being a self-taught musician, I have worked with numerous bands over the years; offering my skillful experience as a lead guitarist, bassist, and sometimes vocalist. Though my musical background is in Blues, Jazz, Funk and Classical Rock, I write and arrange music in other genres (for music libraries) that range from Classical forms of Electronica, to Mood and Ambient Soundscapes.
