Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
Keen to join a new project, the pandemic hasn’t been kind and I miss playing music. Hit me up if you’re a metal / rock band and need a guitarist!
Played guitar since I was 14, I played violin for a few years before that and have played Piano on and off my whole life. I am an experienced live musician, having played a number of major festivals and toured internationally fairly extensively. As such, I have a plethora of professional level gear from traditional valve amps through to the more modern modelling options, so I’m kitted up to fit in with whatever direction you want to go in for live shows.
I am also experienced in the recording studio as I have done a lot of work with bands on albums as well.
I have a pretty diverse music taste, and enjoy most types of Metal ranging from Iron Maiden and Judas Priest through prog like Symphony X, Stratovarius and Dream Theater and on to Behemoth, Nile, Cattle Decapitation, Meshuggah and Black Metal at the more extreme end of the genre. As mentioned my taste in music is diverse and I am not just into metal, I like most things with a good melody and enjoy stuff like Jeff Wayne, film scores, classical, opera, rock, fusion, pop, etc, etc.
Cheers!
