ABOUT

Available as a keyboardist/singer in bands or studio work (vocals and keys). Please contact me (see below). I am a Vocalist/ Keyboardist also available for musical projects. You can get a hold of me at: i v o r y s l a p at w o h d o t r r dot c o m . *I would consider the 'ideal music scenario' that would involve a duo or trio in which we all want to perform the same type of music that would be geared for playing out at restaurants, marina gigs, etc. This project would be fun yet intent on making the best music possible. Prefer to work with musicians who like to work on a the fine details. I prefer to work with a Pre-Existing band to make things move along quicker. Starting from scratch isn't off the table, but I prefer to work with seasoned musicians. I am ISO a group who has a dedicated rehearsal space and P.A. with sound man for every gig. I use my own IEM to control stage volume.
Please send inquiries along with a link to hear and see music samples.
I would like to sing 25% of the lead songs, but can do more if necessary. I also have skills in booking the trio/band, but I have a learning curve having just moved to Tennessee. I use an IPAD for rehearsals and memorize for playng out. To hear live video samples with me playing/singing, search for The Driving Force Band from Dayton Ohio and we have many to hear on Face Book under videos.
