I play by ear. Pretty much any genre. I have about 21 years of piano experience, 16 years of guitar, and 3 years of middle school chorus/ singing at church or whenever. I Spent about 5 yrs in piano lessons from age 5-10. During those years, I read sheet music and participated in recitals and guilds. My original teacher was like a drill Sargent, and more classically geared, so I was much more "to the book" then. After a few brief lessons with a new instructor, who played jazz at the Rialto, I realized that there are many ways to play a song, rather than transferring over a bunch of ink blobs. Around that time, be became a thing, and so did online tutorials.
I'm lead vocals in a band of 3 now. We are looking for a bass player specifically.

Influences
I began with classical music. My first real sheet music song was Fur Elise.
I love EDM fusion. I try my best to make it happen on the keys, but I don't know launchpads, etc. at all.
Jazz/hiphop/rock/edm/pop = the goal
