Hey folks, the name’s Ian.
Lake Stevens born and raised 24 year old dude who loves metal.
Played in a Nu Metal band in high school who had 2 studio albums and played a wide range of shows. Played bass for the band and did some singing.
Lately I’ve been playing solo in my room with my Bluetooth speaker. Blasting metal of all sorts learning how to play songs to a T. This is my primary music pass time.
Every now and then I sing/scream in my car or at open mics/karaoke or at jam nights with buddies.
So I don’t really prefer one or the other! I’d love to scream for a band and sing, but I’d also love to chug and write some sick riffs. I do have some riffs on the back Burner.
My flaws are that I’ve basically only done covers and learned how to play in those styles, so I never really learned music theory, scales, etc. I am familiar with theory and scales, but definitely not something I know off the top of my head. As a solo cover artist I don’t have a ton of experience writing my own stuff, but it’s there.
