Capitalise on the callous on my hands...

About Me

I'm Kell, and I might be violinist.
I might be making that up... how would you even know?
I am, but. So love me.

I've wanted to meet Justin Meldal-Johnsen my whole life...
And now I have. Life complete. Legend of a muso.

I write/arrange music and scores (for inquiries, please email me, [email protected]). I'm painfully shy, and I like it that way. It works for me - however that isn't to say I don't lead a questionable lifestyle. And I write/record music with cut-throat conviction, so don't get in my way.

I didn't edit my profile.
My profile edits me.

If you could possibly have a bigger bootleg collection than me, then I need to meet you.

I think bored people are boring. Sorry, but it's the truth. But right now, I am so bored.   Check it. I found a word "Sloganizer". When I grow up I want to be a sloganizer.   Just some slog...

Is God really just an old Irish man that lives in Glebe?

I'm tempted to believe it. I've needed new violin strings for ages. About 2 months maybe. They sound dead. And the metal was starting to unwind. It cut my fingertips. It hurt to play, and the sound w...
