Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
I have been playing bass for 11 years and I take it very seriously when playing. There is time for fun and games....after the hard work is done. I have never been involved in a band and it really bothers me that having some skills on the bass I cannot perform live in front of people, not showing off or anything, just living music and living the sound of the bass in the music created as a band. I am not interested in doing any covers....I think covers are great to jam with, I am not looking to jam, I am looking to rehearse as a band and write origional heavy metal music, so please dont bother contacting me for a jam or get together, if are following me and understand my level of committment I am wanting to offer to a metal band and compose music, contact me any time!
My style of bass is different, I have a fast metal progressive feel, I am all over the neck, if you watch me you can get dizzy!

Influences
I dont have many influences, this is because when I first started playing bass I never did study any one band, I never had a teacher...I learned everything by ear, after learning the bass and the feel for notes that come naturally you can easily tell which bands I listen to, and listening to them probably has some affect on the style of playing I perform. The easiest way to understand my style based on influences is to basically combine the following three musicians into one style...its fun to play this way and I never get bored. These artists you need to combine into one to get my style is: Cliff Burton (Metallica), John Myung (Dream Theater), and Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) Now theres a mess!
