I am a solo musician. I record music in my home studio. I am not currently in a band, but I used to jam in my basement with a couple of friends for fun. I have also played on a Worship team and led worship in church.
Why this name?
Born with it.
Do you play live?
Play live in church when I get the chance - jam with friends for fun.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has helped many unknown bands get their music out. I have had people from South Africa and around the world download my songs and listen to them - I would have never dreamed of that happening before the internet.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course, but nobody is beating my door down with offers yet!
Band History:
I have played the guitar for about 20 years. I started writing and recording my own songs about 10 years ago. I like to play covers of bands like 3 Doors Down, King's X, and Collective Soul, but I mostly concentrate on writing and recording my own songs. I also spend a lot of time learning and practicing praise and worship songs by various Christian artists.
Your influences?
King's X, Collective Soul, Breaking Benjamin, Dokken/George Lynch, 80's metal, Joe Satriani, Lincoln Brewster, Hillsong United, Kutless, Paramore
