Vocalist, Vocalist - Baritone, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Piano, Keyboard.ABOUT
**Currently writing tunes and playing in a hip-hop/jazz/funk band in Reading, lead synth and tenor sax, searching for a singer, and we're half considering some kind of rapper as this would really suit our style, along the lines of abdominal dj format / classic happy rap rather that gansta shiz tho...

Sax is my primary instrument - been playing for a while now, I haven't done grades but I know a fair amount of music theory, I know about song writing and song structure, as I've done a fair bit myself. Funk is my prefered Genre, and improvisation is generally where I stand out musically. I'm a student at reading uni, which means im only here 30 weeks a year, the rest of the year I'm in Exeter. I can dabble around on keys a bit as well, generally use this for song writing, or just to provide backing to jam over on sax.
