Ben Zee Bar
I began recording my songs in late 2009. Still trying to learn the basics of DAW recording and I've got a long way to go. I'd be interested in working with other people on songs, exchanging ideas, and so on.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play occasionally with the incomparable Tomo Shagger at various places in Nagoya. I love playing live.
