Hey everyone. This isnt really a band thing. Its an expression of my everyday thoughts through music. I dont try hard at what I do. I get my point across and thats all I really care about. Thanks a lot for listening.
Do you play live?
I love to play live gigs because the energy is very important. Energy from the crowd tells me that they really enjoy it and gives me great confidence to play well.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows everyone to discover new music, what this world needs. Music isnt just noise. Its a point of view, its emotion, and so much more. and I think its great that others can share these feelings with the bands.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes. To get my music out there more and encourage other musicians to do the same.
Band History:
I've been playing guitar for only about 2 years. Starting out, I didnt really want to learn simple things like Green Day and such, I was more into learning how to solo and stuff.
Your influences?
Artists with the soft tones such as Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani, to the hard raw sounds of Zakk Wylde all influenced me and I show it through my playing.
Favorite spot?
I really like England, and I love big huge cities such as New York.
Equipment used:
particular tracks I use PRS and Epiphone guitars, As for effects...I use a lot of Delay, Reverb, Chorus and British Distortion. a little Wah now and then is good too.
Anything else...?
I tend to write a lot of music at night or early morning at like, 3:00am. This is when my mind is really open.
