I am Testa;
Weirdo, guitarist, recording engineer / sound technician, and computer tech.Band/artist history
Started playing guitar at around 16, I've played trombone in band since elementary school up until the end at my senior year. I have been attending Finger Lakes Community College pursuing a degree in Music Recording Technolgy and have completed 2 years of Music Theory and Techniques of Audio Recording classes; as well as a bunch of the normal college B.S. My first real band was Breach an Alfred NY based hard rock band, and Voice To Protest temporarily, a really heavy metal band. My performance in school has been primarily in the Jazz and Funk range, and I have jammed with Blues, Jazz, and Funk band JaVine as well as Elemeno, and Doja; jamming mostly with
Lee MacCrea of Alfred NY, Breach, Brian Thibedau (Guitar, Vocals) of Elemeno, Shane Weckiser of Rochester NY Sublime Tribute Band: Badfish and JaVine, Tosh DellaPenna (Product of Hostility) Hornell NY, Scott Corey of (Elemeno) drummer and Nic Bucinell of Rochester based JaVineHave you performed in front of an audience?Open mics generally for now;
