7 and 6 string Guitarist, I write music for piano, drums, bass guitar, and I can write for horns as well. I write my own music as well as learn other bands. I'm the backup guitarist for the french goth rock band Penumbra (www.myspace.com/penumbraofficial). I've performed since the age of 15 and I've been playing the guitar since I was 11. I've studied with Jon Garner, Soul Missive, Curtis Shumate, Shaun Michaud, Norman Zocher, Joe Rogers, and Johnny Neal (from WAR). I performed at the 2006 & 2007 NAMM show in Anaheim California, first show was with a 40's jazz big band and the second was a blues group now known as Soul Missive. I've also opened for Dan Hick's and His Hot Licks. Love all genres of music (I don't consider much of any rap to be music but I don't openly trash talk it, to each his own).
I am Here for:
Friends from college, high school, and open to meeting new ones.
Hobbies:
Writing, playing, performing, and learning all styles of music. Repairing and setting up guitars, modifying amplifiers, modifying effect pedals (give me a screwdriver and I'll find something to tinker with). I have a huge passion for Toyota Supras, especially the MKIII series (my first car was an 87 supra). I used to own a motorcycle and I plan on buying another one later in life. I play with my dogs every day, I love them to death.
