I am a self-taught musician. I began playing piano in church at the age of 6. I then started playing guitar at 13 and I have never put it down. I love music. I have been a paid musician as a solo acoustic act for over 5 years. I have been in bands ranging from reggae to metal. I am bored of the solo acoustic thing. I long to be in a band and to collaborate with other talented people. I am a songwriter and I bring a few songs to the table as well as over a hundred cover songs. I am looking to jam with like-minded individuals that want to express themselves musically and who embrace the art form. I really want to start a full reggae band if I can find something folks here in Charlotte that love reggae like I do.
