Martin Kendall (UK)
I'm Martin, i like to write and record music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I was born, age 14 i fronted a prolific band called Damn Nation on lead screams and growls. Then age 14 to 17 i poured my energy into a comedy metal band called Roarg. 17-present i have been lead guitarist/songwriter/backing vocals for a maidstone based heavy/power metal band called Endymion. Now i'm also making my own stuff.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not with my solos stuff - only with Endymion - yes i like it a lot, special moments were winning botb 2004 (#1) packing out quigleys, domfest 2003, Peace one day 2004 and a wicked gig in Flimwell
Your musical influences
Chuck Schuldiner, Jon Schaffer, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Zakk Wylde, Dave Murray, Bruce Dickinson, Hansi Kursch, JS Bach, Antoni Vivaldi, Paganini, Opeth, My Dying Bride and others!
What equipment do you use?
I use my horrible old computer with its outdated loops and samples program. Also i use an Ibanez Rg370dx through a Boss PW-10 v-wah and a Boss MT-2 metalzone pedal into a Marshall mg100dfx with lots of leads and jacks.
Anything else?
I hope some of you like my stuff.
