SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Just having fun. Primarily interested in online collabs, rather than joining a band. I wouldn't have time for that.
Started out as an obsessive Metallica fan and modelled my early guitar playing after James Hetfield. I learned to love a lot of other musical styles/bands since then. All the demo examples are of me playing every instrument and singing (if you can call it that, lol). I have intermediate level recording/mixing/mastering skills as well.

Influences
Musical influences are modern Metallica and general 90's/00's radio hits. Pop, rock, metal, rap, alternative, etc, you name it. I enjoy anything I can headbang to, dance to, or sing/rap along with. From Backstreet Boys and RHCP to Linkin Park and Slipknot.
I sing like me (maybe modern "old man" James Hetfield?) and rap like Mike Shinoda or Fred Durst (lol, yes you read that right).
