SEEKING

ABOUT

My name is Rob, I'm a 23 y.o. musician living in the SW Florida area. I recently left the band I was in to pursue a different musical avenue. I have been involved in music most of my life and am committed to making it a career. I am also studying to be an Audio Engineer at Unity Gain Recording in Ft. Myers, FL. I have experience in studio maintenance, running sessions, and the hardware/software involved in studios. I also run sound for live gigs and have done so with many artists around my area. While I really love the studio, my main goal is to be in a band, tour and make CDs. Im not in it for the money (although I want my hard work to pay off just like everyone) and I do it for the love of connecting with the audience and having the feeling of being one.
