I'm a guitarist based in London, England, who writes almost all of this stuff alone.
My brother plays drums, so he helps out when I programme something either physically impossible or crappy sounding. We then turn the ideas into full songs, but we need a singer to flesh them out fully and get going!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Never played a gig, not one! Need other musicians for that!
Your musical influences
I've always grown up listening to metal and rock. The first band I ever loved was Lostprophets, they got me into guitar and writing songs.
Otherwise, bands like Glassjaw, Periphery, Every Time I Die, Taking Back Sunday, Paramore. Tonnes of stuff really.
What equipment do you use?
Guitar-wise, I've got an amazing Ibanez FR2620 which is my main instrument. Also, a PRS SC250 and some Fender Tele's for recording.
I use Logic Express at the moment for recording, and most of the stuff is with an Orange Thunder 30 mic'd up going into it, with either Logic's native drums or BFD.
I've recently invested in Line 6's Pod Farm, which I'll be using from now on as it's so versatile and easy to program.
Anything else?
Baked Beans!
