Hey, I'm Selina. Been playing music my whole life and the love has only grown. Music is less of a dry volition for me, and more so my closest companion. I'm a little tired of singing for now though, mainly I just want to get better at playing guitar. I'd like to jam with some other folks who really enjoy playing and just having fun with it. An "anything goes" environment is ideal for everyone's creativity to really come through and thrive. I've played in bands before – in the last I had, we gigged around a bit in Los Angeles. I was the lead vocalist for a group of guys and, as great as it was, it wasn't all that I wanted. And I craved practicing wayyyyyy more than we ever got the chance to. So I'm really trying to find some alike minds, some music enthusiasts, who share my same passion and love for the art, and would love to just come together and see what comes of it. And jam constantly :P
Thanks for taking a look at my page! Peace!

EQUIPMENT
Very, very limited gear at the moment, as I've just relocated from the west. In the meantime I'm keeping my eyes and ears peeled for an electric that really suits me, so whatever gear can be provided for practices will be super appreciated! I will bring along what I can.
