I spend a lot of time in my home studio playing music, coming up with grooves and noodling on the different instruments. I love funky syncopated rhythms where the melodies have room to dance around each other. I'd describe my usual sound as dub reggae meets lo-fi hip-hop, but I like anything that makes me want to bob my head. Lately there's a little bossa nova in there.
I'm open to playing in bands with a strong groove, or just jamming with people who like that mellow stuff. If you can't stop your neck from moving when you're playing, we might be a good fit. Bonus points if you can play multiple instruments.
My email is the same as my username, but with a g and a mail tacked on the end.
