SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Hi, I'm 26 and live in Buckingham. Currently play with a small folk/blues group of friends, however they enjoy playing as a hobby and I am looking to sing at a more serious level. I am a baritone/tenor with a large vocal range and a strong falsetto.
I am extremely open-minded when it comes to genre, I just genuinely love to sing. My most comfortable range is high baritone but I have access to certain bass notes and a large portion of tenor, with a strong connection to falsetto allowing for easily transitioning between.

Influences
I am not a big fan of the breathy, vulnerable style of singing that is popular with male voices today (think Ed Sheeran etc.), My vocal style is much more rock inspired - Deep, rich sounds, the louder the better in many cases.I grew up listening to metal and hard rock (Metallica, ACDC, GNR, Dream Theater) with probably my biggest influence over the 90s and 00s being The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but in my 20s I've developed a deep love for any great lyrics and great vocalists, I'm currently listening to a lot of Paolo Nutini for example. I just love to sing :)
