About Me

My name is Chris I would consider myself a musician among other things but my biggest accomplishment and stance of pride is behind music. I love playing instruments and teaching myself how to play them. I am currently able to play piano, guitar,bass guitar, drums, violin (barely), and I can sing. My music history: I started singing at a very young age or what i consider to be, at 7 i started singing in a church choir lame to you probably but at this point i can say i am glad kept singing through school in choir musicals and different plays and school conerts. Started playing piano at about 10 also from being at church and falling asleep to listen to people battle with their neihbors fist to fist religiously. So i decided to skip back to a room where the piano was and teach myself by ear, well i didn't know it was by ear but thats what I later learned it is considered. Kept playing the piano and singing till around 14 in the 7th grade when I approached my english teacher, after seeing her son play a few songs he wrote in class, about playing guitar. She replied by asking me if i would like to learn because she would teach me. I thought about it and was kind of hesitant and said eh i dont think its my thing . Went home sat around bored as fuck. I went back to class and said hey i think i'll take you up on those lessons. So everyday in english class for about 3 years I played guitar, learning chord structure and technique. Later took a few lessons from a friends dad who played in a band earlier in his life around different bars and did a lot of cool classic rock jams such as led zepplin the beatles pink floyd etc. At 17 I started playing bass guitar simply because we wanted to have a band but no one had any balls to play bass let alone learn it. So i found one to borrow from some friend and played it for the mean time. Later sold my first guitar an ibanez gio and traded it in for a bass guitar, and have been playing it since. Oh forgot i have played percussion in band from 6th grade to my freshmen year. And been trying dearly to learn violin it's not something i find easy to learn by ear unlike piano or guitar. I have been trying to learn for 2 years now not very religiously or anything but i am still occasionally breaking it out.
