I was classically trained age 10 in private lessons for vocal performances. I am a strong lead singer and a master at blending voca6which makes me a perfect backup vocalist. I can play rhythm guitar and prefer electric but do practice with an acoustic. I was a bass 2 in choir but have expanded my range to Tenor. I have audio production experience especially mixing vocal tracks. I'd like to join a band where there are a few singers so we could all have fun, each choose our share of covers and originals and get on stage in a way that makes every member of the band happy. I would love to include a female vocalist that plays an instrument and I'd like to be able to cover any genre. I can sing doowop. Oldies, country, rock, alternative, grunge, punk, rap. I have very few vocal limitations but I don't insist on being the leader, frontman or singing lead on every song. And I want a democratic environment where if it doesn't make us all happy we didn't do iit. I don't care about fame or fortune, I just love music and want to be on stage with like minded individuals. With our ability to cover any song we could make a significant supplemental income as we earn gigs around Houston.

EQUIPMENT
Currently acoustic guitar and computerized recording equipment and mixing mastering software. I'm financially sound and as the band takes shap I'll choose my instrument based on need but prefer a Fender Stratacaster. My vocal chords. I could step in and be lead vocalist for any genre and can rap with the best in cover. Freestyle rap isn't my think and if I did decide to join a band dedicated to a genre it probably wouldn't be rap. Grunge, Punk, Rock , Alternative, Grunge, Country and Barber Shop would be something I would consider.
