SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm looking for like minded musicians to jam/compose/perform with. I've been playing drums for 20 years in a range of bands whose styles varied from rock to funk, jazz to electronic/laptop based material. I'm currently interested in collaborating with open minded musicians who are interested in jazz, soul and funk and taking that into contemporary electronica. I have experience of writing my own electronic music using Reason and would be keen to rekindle this interest, too.
I am also a DJ who collects rare groove, funk, soul, jazz and electronic jazzy breaks and beats on record and am keen to explore the vast vaults of creativity locked away in records and to meet fellow DJs keen to collaborate on DJing select events...!
