ABOUT

Hey, my name is Mike. I'm from Paso Robles, CA. I've been playing guitar for 3 years now (hardcore/metalcore/emocore) stuff for almost 4 months (I can play thrice, killswitch engage, from autumn to ashes, story of the year, and I’m in the process of learning some Unearth SUPER HARD). I've sang in 3 bands, and I’ve been singing for 2 years. I just started singing/screaming/writing (songs & lyrics) hardcore/metalcore/emocore stuff last year in September for the last band I was in. I started to get into hardcore in the middle of last year as well. If you would like to hear some of that band's material that I sang/screamed/wrote lyrics for, just contact me. email/msn: kilfakeemo, aim: kilfakeemo, 805-975-2197 I do however have a couple of things to say about the songs that were recorded though. Both of which I will be sure to clarify when the songs are requested. I will be more than willing to play music with any of the influences listed below. I also have a powerful and energetic stage presence and my bandmates must also have the same thing. That is one thing I am INSANELY OBSESSED with in any band! I just have always thought it’s a must in any band. I'm very passionate and very committed about the music I listen to, write, sing & PLAY. Call me a perfectionist, but I take pride in the music I love, as well as write. I will stay in the recording studio from 8am monday morning until Tuesday 12pm, if the studio will let me, till I get a solo, chorus, riff, vocal perfect. Speaking of recording studios, I have a mini ghetto studio (that is made of a M-Audio USB MobilePre w/ 4ins & 4outs (4-track), Samus Condenser Mic w/pop filter, both running thru Cubase SX 1.0 on Windows XP. Sounds pretty ghetto huh? yeah, it sucks. Not bad for recording a few scratch vocal or guitar tracks to get u going before your studio perfection. But yeah. I've recorded and produced my first band's entire EP (which u dont wanna hear, TAKE MY WORD FOR IT! it sounds professional, but the genre prolly wont fit yours or my style now. and my vocals suck then) and i mixed my last band's tracks that were recorded in the studio. I am also planning and saving to go to school in Hollywood and go to Musicians' Institute to get my certificate in the Vocal Institute of Technology, Recording Institute of Technology & Music Business Program. That is if I don’t find a band to play for before then. SO LEMME KNOW IF UR INTERESTED OR IF I FIT WHAT U NEED IN UR BAND!!!! CUZ I NEED TO DO THIS!!! Music is going to be my career, whether it’s playing in a band, owning my own record label (or working for one) or running my own recording studio. I'm determined to do this. So help me PLEEEAZE!!
