ABOUT

Bagpipes are my first instrument. I play at a grade 3 level, and I have been across the country learning, as well as across the world performing in shows such as the Basel International Tattoo in Basel Switzerland, and the Virginia International Tattoo in Norfolk Virginia, USA. Due to living situations I haven't been able to practice in awhile.

I began writing electronic music around 3 years ago, and I have developed some keyboard experience using my midi keyboard to play in notes when writing.

I picked up electric guitar a year ago. I'm working towards joining a metalcore band and touring.

I don't play voice but if need be I may be able to do backing voice

I'm a certified Audio Engineer.

Influences

Mostly metalcore bands like: Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, Blessthefall etc. anything really heavy with awesome breakdowns. Not into grindcore or deathmetal like: Canibal Corpse, Though I'm into melodic deathmetal like Epica.

I can play rock songs by Theory of a Dead Man, and Three Days Grace pretty easily. Face Down by The Red Jumpsuit Aparatus is my warmup song.

Electronic: The regular Skrillex and Zomboy as well as several others are my writing influences.

Celtic - I really like The Simon Fraser University Pipe Band. If I could join any pipe band that would be it.
