Kyle Honea

i'm bassist Kyle Honea.i record with Francesco Fareri on our "KFproject" works as well as his album "Forbidden Dimension"..here i am focusing mostly on my individual work.

This is a beginning for me and hopefully a pathway from inevitable obscurity. It seems helpless to be stuck in solitude without an internet address to call home. To begin my story,it was truly may 88' that i first began to call myself a bass player. My first couple of years were not one's spent feverishly practicing..mostly playing in bands and bars.it was early 90'that i began to learn how to practice and to concentrate on improving myself. I remember listening to great guitarists, and bassists, bands, etc... names like Billy Sheehan, Geddy Lee, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Racer X, Cacophony, and a really incredible bassist named Doug Keyser who played in Watchtower but the most important influence as far as inspiration had to be Rush. I came from such a small town, that practicing was easier because there wasn't much else to do! I practiced from 8 to 10 hours a day for a couple of years straight. I formed a mutual alliance with some other accomplished musicians who i also rehearsed and recorded with,until my alliance expired!!! But in may 92' i had managed to appear (thanks to Mike Varney) in the "SPOTLIGHT COLUMN" in guitar player magazine. Mike also helped me gain an endorsement with "CARVIN" guitars. This lasted until 94' which is when my passion for music began to recede... from late 94' to mid 99' my bass slept!!! Circumstances and time that flows like a never ending river, pushed me all the way to the year 99'. It was the year my wife was pregnant, and we were quickly approaching the millenium. Suddenly my drive came back... I created a demo and sent it around the world... thanks to the support of my beautiful wife and son whom i love the most, I can be the best i can. A big thank you to Francesco Fareri who has been a great friend and inspiration also... that guy can pick!!! Enjoy my site....Kyle
