ABOUT
I am 19 years old and looking to join a band with young musicians passionate about songwriting and exploring a diverse range of music genres.
My theory knowledge is basic but I am a skilled improviser and arranger on the piano/keyboard and have self-taught on guitar and harmonica over the last couple years. I have a strong musical sense that allows me to pick up instruments fairly quickly and improvise various styles with ease on the piano.
