Hello. I'm a singer-songwriter looking for guitarists, a bassist, keyboard/pianist, saxophonist, and drummer for some music projects I have. The type of music I'm doing will be a hybrid of hard rock/metal with funk, gospel, r&b, soul, and a little bit of country thrown in. I have about 90 songs that I've written so far. I'm looking for people who are interested in this type of music and want to give it a try. Musicians who can also sing would be a bonus but it's not a requirement.

Acoustic Guitar | Background Singer
Been writing songs and singing since I was a kid. I've done a number of genres, but all with a pop feel. Would rather just sing when playing live, but can throw in some rhythm guitar and percussion - used to play the drums. Took a few years of vocal training. Quite a bit of intensity on stage. Don't mind relocating or traveling if something works out.
