ABOUT

I am a singer, rhythm guitarist, and songwriter. I'm 23 and have been singing and playing guitar for a while now. I'm looking to start a band and am very serious about the project. The genres im most interested in are Metal (Groove, Alternative, Thrash, Nu), Post Grunge, and Hard Rock. No Screaming/Screamo. Clean vocals, raspy yelling like Metallica, but no full on fry screams or pig squeals. Other than this I'm very open to versatility in terms of genres and how we go about covers and writing in general.

I also recently graduated from the Independent Music Production program at Seneca@York. I am now knowledgeable with recording, mixing, live sound, in depth songwriting techniques, music production, tour management, marketing and promotion, merchandising, photography and album art creation, and most importantly the business side of music.

If you have any questions message me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
