I've been playing guitar for 12 years and love it, but never gotten the chance to connect with any other musicians to challenge, work with, and inspire me. I also write lyrics, poetry, and rap.
As I develop my heart and my abilities seems to land in a place where I want to write lyrics and sing them. I love singing with grit, using it dynamically or not at all, to express whats being said, and I love combining that with real and beautiful music and melodies, not just abrasive screaming.
Would love to connect with people with similar vision and vibes, and see what happens.
