I am foremost a songwriter looking to flesh out my songs with a good rhythm section. I have lyrics, melodies, chords, and a general vibe and vision set out for each song - I want to explore dynamics and a lot more with people who have ideas and can play.
I also enjoying learning covers and jamming them out. I am capable on guitar and bass, and see them as different instruments - ie I try to avoid playing the bass like a guitar!
