Started guitar with inspiration by Richie Blackmore in Deep Purple. Quickly immersed with classic Rock/Blues: Deep Purple (did I mention it already?:)), Hendrix, Guns & Roses, ACDC, Dire Straits, Yes, Van Halen, Gary Moore, Santana etc.
Then I go into more mordern/alternative style of metal/rock: Audioslaves, Godsmack, Metallica, Papa Roach, Nickelback, Marilyn, Offspring, Green day, Treble Charger, RHCP, Puddle of Mud, HIM, etc
Because of my Asian background, I am heavily influenced by Japanese Rock (JRock), including X Japan, Glay, L'arc~en~ciel, Luna Sea, Dir~en~grey, Gackt, B'z, MUCC, Miyavi, the Pillows, etc. I play lots of lots of Jrock!!!
I would describe my style as an interesting mixture between Jrock and English rock. Please see my influence section for further details.
Currently I am playing lead guitar for a alternative rock/Jrock San Francisco Band Nikita & Metallic Beasts.
We are actively playing in SF rock scenes. Stay tuned~~!
Nikita andMetallic Beasts will be playing atNov 26, 2005 - JRock Connection 2005 !!!!
