ABOUT

I have been playing music since elementary school. Started on the viola then picked up such instruments as cello, piano/keyboard, guitar, bass guitar, drums, mandolin, and violin. unfortunately i do not possess all of my instruments i used to. I no longer have my 6 string violin, bass guitar, cello (broke), and i will hopefully get my mandolin back soon. I am mostly into playing hard rock/metal. However I am into playing almost anything. I am mainly looking for a "new" sound in music. I have learned that the bands who last are the ones who almost create a new style of playing.

Influences

The bands who have influenced me the most are; Ozzy (always has amazing musicians), Black Label Society, Lamb of God, Slayer, Megadeath, Korn, Marilyn Manson (John 5 is an awesome guitar player), Rob Zombie and there are several more. I am also really into classical music, like bach, handle, chopin, yo yo ma...etc.
