Reed Barrus: Age 20, Living in North Reno/Sparks
Started playing piano when I was 6 and guitar when I was 13 which ended up being my favorite. Also picked up significant skills in the drums, saxophone, and the bass along the way. Started learning production only a year ago but I love it very much. Improvising and live performane are however my favorite part about music. Trying to create a team to play live improvisational house/edm music. Hit me up if you are inspired as well, and I love to collaborate in production and performance.

Influences
Learned Classical piano at an early age, moved onto playing guitar where I was taught improvisation by Jon Ponzo who I owe my explosive exploration of music to. Started playing as part of a Jazz trio called the "Jazztronauts" and now am playing local and producing with an R&B singer Max Stark. Clean progressive electronic production is the thing I and most inspired by and aspire to most; seconded only by my zeal for a soulful live performance.
Classical, Blues, Classic Rock, Metal, Jazz, Funk, Disco, House (more the melodic house side), Trap, Hip-Hop, Soul, R&B, Reggae, Alternative, EDM (most styles except hardstyle), Dubstep, Latin, and instrumentals (in all the previous genres).
