uptheante + Musician in Washington, DC

SEEKING

ABOUT

I play drums, guitar and also try to sing a little. I like to think I am a skillful drummer (been drumming for about 9 years) and an adequate guitar player (both electric and acoustic - about 6 years). I have a narrow vocal range and so prefer not to sing but will if I have to.

I write a lot of my own music, a lot of which is in the alternative rock, punk, and acoustic rock genres. Lyrically I try to explore social and political issues as well as deal with stories of reflection and self growth.

My dream is to form an alternative rock band that I either play drums or guitar in - as long as I can contribute to the song-writing process, as I am pretty proud of my own songwriting, lol.

I am very open-minded musically, so please do not hesitate to hit me up! I'm a passionate musician and songwriter but also like to just have fun and jam out.
