Been playing music seriously since 16. Definitely best as a vocalist. Passable with an acoustic, best with punk rhythm guitar. Quick study on the drums as I played when I was much younger, but I don't currently have a set.
Have fronted and been the creative force behind an acoustic punk band Dear Brutus for pushing three years now, so I do have some experience gigging. Most people I've ever played for is about 200. Biggest name I've played with is Hot Mulligan.
I am a lyricist at heart. I can write songs towards any genre and adjust my voice accordingly. I just love to write.

Influences
In terms of Dear Brutus, Alkaline Trio, The Front Bottoms, and McCafferty. Lyrically I pull inspiration from a lot of different places, Andrew Jackson Jihaad and The Dear Hunter most notably. I've done a lot of conceptual work and would love to do a prog project based around it more than anything, fusing a prog pop blend in the style of Coheed/Closure in Moscow
