ABOUT

I've been playing guitar for about 11 years and have been in multiple bands. I can handle lead or rhythm guitar, have had local gigging experience here in Nor-Cal, and have even played to crowds of 1,500+ down south in LA. I have my own professional equipment and transportation and am easy to work with, eager to do big things!

I'm looking to start some sort of Alternative or Rock band, very open to experimentation. Would eventually like to develop our own sound...but I know in the beginning it's all baby steps.

Unfortunately, I don't have amazing clips online, but I have a few from a band I had in college. It's cheesy stuff we'd play for our Indian Culture Show, mostly re-works/covers of Indian songs. It really doesn't at all cover the spectrum of music I can play or am in to...it's just something I did ever year in college using what resources were available to me under a limited time scale. Just so you know, I'm the short guy w/ the red PRS and crazy jacket. There are a few solos in there too!

Here's a clip from my latest band. It's a thrash band I was in for a couple months and just recently quit...think early metallica. Here's a video from one of our shows (guitar is slightly out of tune). The band had quite a few gigs booked, but creatively and artistically it just wasn't doing it for me..so I'm looking for a new project.

Take the videos w/ a grain of salt though, I'm into a lot of music and my playing ability isn't limited to heavy stuff. I have lots of different music I've written, much of which is influenced by all the artists listed below.

Looking forward to a new and exciting musical experience with you!
