ABOUT

Hi there! I'm an experienced, 29yr old gigging musician looking to start a prog/tech/death metal band, or looking to join an existing one. I have over 10 years of gigging experience and 13 years of guitar/bass experience and able to play to a high/professional standard. If you're interested in forming a band, ideally looking for a vocalist who can do death metal style/cleans, a guitarist (or two!), drummer and maybe a keys/synth player.

I currently own a 7-string bass guitar plus backline and looking for like-minded, committed, mature musicians to jam, rehearse write/record, have artistic involvement and play regular gigs with. I have access to a means of transport (car), so driving to gigs and practices is no problem. I'm free most evenings Monday-Friday for rehearsals and able to work around schedules too. I can also play the guitar to a high-level too, so I'm pretty flexible but bass is my main focus at present!

Feel free to check out my YouTube page below for videos of my playing:
