I'm a 26 year old musician who writes his own songs (Shock). I've been playing guitar for the last 11 years and producing tunes for the last 8. I play guitar, keys, synths, flute, drums, sing, write and produce my own tunes. I like everything from Drum and Bass to acoustic and jazz. I spent 4 years in a band and then 3 years producing drum and bass. But I have recently returned to my guitar based roots. I'm a civil servant by day and am really getting down to it this year to get a couple of albums done. I'm presently trying to get all my old acoustic songs recorded and up here.
