ABOUT

Hello, I'm currently attending Berklee College of Music. I've been playing the bass guitar for over 8 years. I'm in to most genres but mainly play progressive rock/metal. I've played in two bands since I've been playing - one was a classic rock cover band that lasted four years and we played 100's of shows in the Washington, D.C. area. I helped write songs and wrote all of my bass parts whenever we made an original tune. The other band I was in was a Progressive Metal band. I wrote most of the material and we rehearsed 2-3 days a week, around 6 hours each. I enjoy writing bass lines that sound like guitar parts or have a lead role about them. I enjoy playing video games on the side and like to have a great time.
