Guitarist with album-worth of compositions looking for drummer and vocalist.
Style:
Play mostly in Drop D, along with Drop C and Standard Tunings. Heavy to clean, melodic, and incorporating FX.
Some songs are progressive, but mostly focus on verse-chorus-bridge-based structure.
Background:
Started playing in my early teens (90s) with heavy grunge influence. Took several years of lessons (playing alternative, classic rock, metal, and a little virtuoso). Then started writing riffs and songs.
Formed a band in the early 2000s. Performed up and down the Sunset Strip, headlining sold-out shows, along with various other gigs.
Hung it up to focus on family, but started again in 2018, rebuilding gear-arsenal and recording at home.
Now looking to fine-tune compositions (with others) and when ready, professionally record, then take things from there.
