Have you performed in front of an audience?
i'm trying to perform live more often... ^^;
My very first live performance was at Futago's Japanese restaurant in Alpharetta. Live performances are cool! i want to do more! ^^
Your musical influences
definitely new-school R&B influence.
Also lots of J-Pop influence. My favorite J-Pop (or J-Rock?) band is L'arc en Ciel. i also like techno... Denki Groove, especially.
What equipment do you use?
-Roland XP30 synthesizer
-Roland MC-303 groovebox
-Yamaha Clavinova keyboard
-Mac LC (since 1990!)
-Yamaha QV100... still trying to get it to work. (x.x
-my trusty TASCAM 4-track recorder for mixing my voice
Anything else?
J-Pop rules! ^^ My dream is to be a multi-genre talent. Please help support me! Be on the look out for more live performances in the Alpharetta, GA area!
