ileanazayas + Musician in Austin, TX

ABOUT

I love hard rock and am currently forming a cover band that covers songs from Velvet Revolver, The Pretty Reckless, and other one-off songs from other bands that are the particular flavor of hard rock that I'm curating as our repertoire.

Anyone wanna make that happen with me?

I am the singer* and I am looking for a lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist, bassist, and drummer.

*I know I only have recordings of me singing jazz and blues, but I am currently working on developing my voice for rock.

A little background on me...

Classical choir singer 1995-2008.

After graduating high school, I experimented with many other genres until, in 2008, I finally found my "home" in jazz (swing, gypsy jazz, big-band, bebop, scat, Latin jazz, cabaret jazz, gothic jazz) & especially blues jazz.

Now recently in 2021, I have been branching out into straight blues, rock blues, desert blues, folk blues, and even bluegrass. I also started playing the banjo (still very beginner at it, and I can't play+sing at the same time, haha). I'm obsessed with anything with a good slide guitar / steel guitar / dobro.
