Kyle Kartchner + Musician in San Jose, CA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Hi, My name is Kyle Kartchner! I am primarily a rhythm Guitarist (working on my chops as a lead player), but I enjoy singing and can compose/write music! I know my way around a DAW and would love to work with other people making all kinds of music. I know it says rock, metal and prog in my bio, but I've garnered other influences from jazz to R&B and Hip-Hop, and wouldn't be opposed to Punk, Ska, or Funk. I have music of my own which I've written that I'd love to share, but I like making music best in conjunction with other people! Looking to join a band, preferably rock/metal fusion, to challenge me and build up my chops as a musician - will gladly sing, play guitar, and compose (working on singing and playing simultaneously though).
