I’ve been playing guitar since I was 12 starting with house of the rising sun which my dad taught me. I was briefly in a band when I was 15-16 and we performed some small shows but nothing major. I’ve been playing guitar for nearly ten years now sometimes with others but mainly on my own and I want to get out there and play music for people. People often comment on my guitar playing and ask why I don’t join a band which is why I’m here now. Nothing gives you the thrill playing music in front of people does and I want to use my skills to try and do that as seriously as possible.

Influences
Early influences when I really started getting into playing were guns and roses, Eric Clapton.
Then around 2017 got really into avenged sevenfold and particularly the super guitar work they do. I still like avenged sevenfold dearly but recently have been very into extreme and nuno bettencourt. That percussive style he has is really inspiring and his technique is obviously incredible.
