I started avidly studying music when I was 16, but music has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is me strumming my dad's Yamaha acoustic. I learned my first song on piano and then got my first electric guitar. If I'm not at work, I'm playing my guitar. If I'm not doing either of those I'm at the shop buying strings because one of mine popped. I took vocal lessons in highschool. I was taught to scream when I was 10 and haven't stopped since. I know proper technique so I don't harm my vocal cords. I can also sing clean and hard vocals. My hard vocals are strongly pulled from Adam Gontier and my cleans are pulled from Corey Taylor and Eddie Vedder. I take music extremely serious and want to pursue it professionally. I live in a small town so finding other musicians is harder than I expected. I work 9-5, so I'm open every night. I play Guitar(Electric and Acoustic), Bass(Electric and Acoustic), Piano(Baby Grand), and I sing. I can also play drums but I am not proficient at them...yet. I have my own recording rig and am always open to jam with anyone. I can read sheet music, I am a little slow at it, but I can navigate it. I love all genres of music, but I do not play all genres. If it provokes emotion and means something then I am most likely to love the song. I'm wanting to either join a band or form one of my own. I play in multiple tunings and am proficient in navigating my fretboard or keyboard. Basically, I live and breathe music and I enjoy hanging and jamming with like minded people.
