I am based in SW London, I am mostly interested in playing Funk, Soul, Blues, Jazz and Hip-Hop (similar to The Roots) as these are the genres that I listen to the most and influenced my style.
I am mostly self taught. I've been playing since I was 6 but started taking it seriously more over lockdown. I did a Performance & Production course in college (mainly playing drums) and also went to university at BIMM London for the Popular Music (Drums) course.
I do want to create a band but I am also open to joining an already existing band.
All instruments/musical backgrounds are welcome as long as you have a few years of experience.
I'm looking for anyone of similar age and location that is interested in creating original songs in the Funk, Soul, Blues, Jazz and Hip-Hop genres and would like to perform them at gigs and possibly record and release music.
Please message if you are interested or have any questions.
