SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm a talented well rounded musician who has been looking for a band that takes music as seriously as I do. I've been drumming for 15 years, playing guitar for 6 and I do a little bass too. I attended the North East School of the Arts for 4 years and majored in musical theater. There I studied vocal pedagogy for 4 years so when it comes to singing, I know what I'm doing there as well. I want to form a band that doesn't settle for anything half ass. I want band that won't give up until they've got the perfect take. I want a band that has chemistry and gets along, but can also take CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I would also like a band of members who can harmonize and or sing/play in key and in time. I'm not looking to hold anyone's hand. I would prefer to be a drummer but I'll do rhythm/lead guitar or vocals. I'm looking to go big, and I know I have what it takes.
