ABOUT

Hey!

I am based within the Swindon area, have a full time job and have own transport. I am currently the lead guitarist in a active working band called 'Rites to Ruin'. Who are an original, heavy british metal band. We released our first debut album 'Daughter of Hatred' back in 2025 along with having the privilege of playing Bloodstock festival. Rites to Ruin are across all socials and streaming platforms if youd like to check me, the album and the band out.

Essentially, why i am here, considering my current musical outlet with Rites is that i am just generally always open to new projects and ventures. Networking with other like minded people/musicians who share the same passion for music. I have a varied taste regarding genre and so looking to potentially start a male fronted 4 piece band (drums, bass, vocals) along the heavier rock type angle.

If you are interested and committed please contact me. I can answer any other questions you may have around myself and the vision for what i am looking to achieve.

look forward to hearing from you...

peace :)
