GentryDerp + Musician in Superior Township, MI

ABOUT

Currently in a band and am not seeking side projects. However, we do want to find other bands to play with us at shows.

I am a self-taught vocalist that is currently training to better my skill set. I have been singing for fun since I was a little kid but began to take it more seriously around age 12, which is when I began to train my voice.

I grew up in a family full of musicians and have spent my life sitting in on band practice for several bands belonging to my father, cousin, and brother. I also worked as a roadie and have experience with touring.

I write my own songs and poetry with a heavy influence from writers like Jim Morrison and David Bowie. My vocal range and style is very similar to that of Serj from SOAD. At tthis time, I cannot scream fully but I have been making progress with daily practice. The end goal is to sound like Maria Brink.

When it comes to instruments, I can play guitar and bass pretty casually. I am able to learn songs pretty quickly. However, I'm nowhere near as proficient enough in either instrument to be able to identify them as instruments I can play fully.
