bedroom guitarist. former pro turned dayjob slave..but still very much a noodler on the guitar.
will get a band someday.it's just a matter of time.

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
started out in HS band playing keyboards and vocals-ocassionally.
switched to guitar in 1990 and has since joined different bands:
bluerats--manila blues band
skin--rock,new wave and top 40 showband
first circle--recording artists in the party circuit
introvoys--on their reunion album and tour.
not mention several filipino bands that i jam with occasionally like ben paltik, flying rat's ass, huka, the whatsisname bros, mr.crayon, lampano alley,etc.
played almost in every situation you could think of. the only place i haven't played is underwater.lol...oh yes on a rollercoaster, never done that before.
top 40, rock, metal, reggae...yep ive dabbled in them all...but i love the blues.that's the only style i could do with conviction.
check my music out
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
like i said, i was a pro once. played in all sorts of situations. never got my big break though, but that doesn't bother me. got to play guitar on tv a few times...it was in a pop band though. my friends never let me forget about the time i had to play the "my sharona" guitar solo on bubble gang.
Your musical influences
rock is my first love. the blues is my soul mate. jazz is my bitch...
that means i started out a rocker...found my calling in the blues...but i dabble in jazz from time to time(actually i'm studying it...lazy student that i am-still a work in progress).
