A dedicated, semi-pro musician that practices daily and plays out at least twice a month.
There are alot of projects and people I've had the opportunity to work on. Musically speaking there are many genres that are appealing to me. I have received some classical training and have primarily played electric bass or double bass in the bands/projects I have been involved with. However, in many cases I have played some thing extremely different, this includes: guitar, keyboards (Synthesizers and piano), drums, percussion (Latin, marching, orchestra, bagpipe & drum corp.), a few wind instruments (Bagpipe chanter, Native American flutes, ocarina and harmonica), additionally on many recordings and live settings I sing lead and/or background vocals.
Artist Mission
I would like to find a way into a songwriting/publishing contract or perhaps play in the backup band to someone who performs original material. A recording contract for one or all of the projects I perform in would also be amazing.
For now I'm content to just keep learning music and studying sound on my time I have so that I can develop new songs and approaches with my own material.
