ABOUT

Been drumming since around 12. I have explored many genres but mostly gigged with death, thrash or black metal groups. I'm happy to pursue a group both inside and outside of these genres involving drumming. I can also play guitar and bass decently.

I'm in one local project looking for a full time bassist and eventually a front person. I have recording side projects with various other musicians but always interested in others.
