ABOUT

Hello! I am a college student looking to join a band and make some music! While my college degree (Computer Science) is my priority, I have enjoyed writing, recording, and playing music for years and want to be able to do it with other people again. I was bassist and keyboardist for the band Shattering Illusions for my last few years of high school, which released 5 songs and wrote 4 or 5 more that are unreleased. I also played cover gigs throughout high school. I am primarily a bassist and keyboardist, but I am able to write on and play guitar as well. I'm looking for a band to have fun, play live, and (preferably) write some original music. I am located in Morgantown for most of the year (during school), but may be away in the summer for an internship.
