About Me

My name is Mike. I'm 20. I've been playing guitar for 7 1/2 years, and it is the most important thing in my life. I love music more than anything else in the world. I'm a die hard metal fan, but i enjoy most types of music. I also like to create art and cook. I will do whatever is necessary to follow my dreams. I believe that you only have one shot at life and that no matter what it is that you want to make of yourself in the time that you have, it is always possible. I try to have a good time all the time. Once you get to know me, I'm a pretty cool dude.
