SEEKING

ABOUT

Founded Selfish Machines in August 2013 and still love doing that project, it's my baby. I'm the lead guitarist and write all the original music for the band. I'm also a member of Ol'Mikey Band as the bass player and Animosity (An Acoustic Tribute to Sevendust) as the bass player. Always looking to expand my knowledge and work on other projects with like minded dedicated musicians. I capable of doing studio sessions and songwriting collaborations as well. As a bonus I am home schooled so have no scheduling conflicts with my musical pursuits.

EQUIPMENT

Guitars-Usually stick to playing one of my Gibson Guitars (The '57 Custom shop "Black Beauty" being my #1), but also have Fenders, B.C. Rich, Kramer, and LTD guitars. Play through full or half Marshall stack with Marshall DSL100 head. Sometimes run dual heads with the other being Orange's Dark terror head through full or half Orange stack. Bass-Mainly play Fender Precision bass (although I have many others available depending on my mood) through Ampeg PF-800 Head into either Ampeg Portaflex 4x10 cabinet (add the Portaflex 1x15 cabinet for larger venues). Drums I use a Sonor or Ddrum kit live and when I need the keyboard I use Yamaha Motif XS-7.
