I play guitar by trade, since I was 13. Picked up the guitar initially because of 90's grunge. Did lots of bands over the years playing everything from grunge/alt rock to progressive metal. I have also played drums and bass in some bands, and I'm decent at both. I'm ok singer, and hold my own on stage where I currently do mostly solo-acoustic singer/song-writer stuff...mostly because I don't have a band these days. Looking to change that. I'd like to get a new band going, or join an existing one. Preferably as a guitar player, singer or drummer...but I'll play bass for the right band. I studied music production at Fanshawe College, and know my way around recording, but do IT work to pay the bills. I write a lot and am looking to move away from covers with my acoustic solo at pubs to playing some higher energy rock with a band and some original material too. I write a lot of songs.

Influences
Too many to list. Born and raised on 90's-2000's alt rock. I love all kinds of rock from classic to modern types. I dabble in blues/roots/country lately a la Gregory Alan Isakov to Colter Wall. I detest modern country. Hell, I've even had some hip-hop phases.
