ABOUT

I’m a (lead) guitarist who has been playing for about 16yrs looking to get out and play with other people!

My Tick/Tok is: nickjmccabe
You’re welcome to reach out there and see some more of my playing

I have played live a number of times in open mic nights/friends bands etc, but mostly used to doing my own thing.

I live in central Manchester but able to travel if local!

Into a bit of everything music-wise but probably looking to get creative, jam, make music and play live if that works out.

I would be keen to do something heavy with electronic influence but also not strictly metal as I am also into soul/jazz/citypop/rnb grooves too.

I would want the sound to take inspiration from bands like royal blood, bring me the horizon, modestep, pendulum, enter shikari, hadouken, bullet for my Valentine, mäneskin, muse, chase and status etc.

My playing style is a mix, being able to play heavy high energy stuff but also love anything with a nice melody/shred! Can also play jazzy, more funky stuff too.

I have previously been quite confident using ableton for music production and mastering so would be looking to get make use of that when producing / recording. I have produced electronic/house music under alias X4N on sound-cloud for a number of years also.

— in Manchester city centre. — in Manchester UK.
