ABOUT

Ive played piano since the age of 3. Picked up guitars, bass, drums, whatever I could get ahold of by 10 yrs. Basically my talent is my ear. Can hold a tune, but not a "great" lead vocalist. Good harmonies for background though. I recently made a music/recording studio in my house. Currently learning all about production and recording songs as well as beats for collab/ sale. Can offer studio time also. Just want to make music for a living. Life's short.

Influences

Grew up here in Jacksonville on Rock mainly. Huge 90s grunge kid too. Of course I've listened to everything over the years,know my rap/hip hop well. Country now and then, Reggae, Jazz, Metal and everything in between. Some of my all time favorites are Sevendust, Incubus, Dave Matthews, Stone Temple Pilots, but I'll love anything with great musicianship and writing. Even Sting/police, Alanis Morissette, Daniel Caesar, Seal, POD, Shinedown. I'm open minded. Lol. I've played in many churches growing up, and feel honored to use my talent in ways that heal and show others some light in this messed up world. Recovering addict, been clean since 2018. (From the hard stuff anyways) Right now I'm also digging the progressive rock/ Metal scene in Australia more than here. Bands like Caligula's horse, Twelve Foot Ninja, Karnivool....great musicians. So yeah... Musicianship always catches my ear.

Using a Mackie Big knob audio interface, Mackie studio monitors a 12 channel analog mixer, then M-Audio oxygen pro 61 MIDI keyboard, 4microphones, a homemade vocal booth, three electric guitars including a Stratocaster and a Les paul, an acoustic guitar, an electric drum set, getting a bass soon, and I add to it every day just about. Hit me up if you want cheap studio time as well.
