ABOUT

For a listen to the Fully Mastered and Produced EP of my last project The 5th Year to get the best impression of what I've done previously, please check out:

(Sorry, it won't let me put a link here :/ Just delete the spaces or it's the first result link if you just paste as is)

This will give you the best impression of previous work.
The tracks uploaded below are rough acoustic demos, unfinished concepts, or earlier versions of songs that made the EP (Example: Betrayal, Stone Cold, Consequences, tracks 1, 2, and 3 on the EP). They are all written and recorded by me.

I've been a drummer in a batch of projects stemming back to late high school ('bout 17 years ago now), and through that time have done several studio drumming gigs for assorted artists at London Bridge Studios, and been the drummer/percussionist in about a half dozen different projects. In about 2016 I started shifting towards the guitar and writing my own tunes.
I'm certainly not a fantastic guitarist, but can play rhythm and sing at the same time just fine.

My last project The 5th Year ended in 2020 when our bass player suddenly passed away and I haven't really played since, but am really looking to get back into music with some new folks from around the local area. My heart these days is really in singing.

Josh Scogin from The Chariot, TOOL, Trophy Scars, Zeppelin, VOLA, Devin Townsend Project, Heilung, Floyd, Beatles, lots of Folky sh*t like Tallest Man on Earth and Brett Dennen, Fleet Foxes, some of the more recent Alternative music like Lumineers, Mute Math, New Politics, The Neighborhood. I dig the Nelsons (Willy but especially his son Lucas Nelson). Some kickass metal out there (at least I think it is) like this sick Swedish band Hypocrisy, Meshuggah, bands like Bring me the Horizon, Scary Kids Scaring Kids etc.
A few country and rap artists are on my right side, the rest to the left lol.
