Music is the voice of the soul

About Me

Hello...1 Music is my passion and love and it's always been that way all my life and I wouldn't change that for anything or anyone in the world, 2nd I wouldn't be alive now if it wasn't for music, for music I am the only reason I exist today. Some facts about me? I was born right here in Neptune,NJ from Greek parents, at the age of 11 I moved to Karpathos Island, Greece with my mother and 2 younger brothers, picked up the guitar in Othos,Karpathos Island around '94-'95 and in late February 2000 Saddened and Disenchanted by many people in Karpathos and the way they approached my musical taste with no respect or idea by calling it the devils music, shit music and all sorts, I decided to take a chance and return back to NJ to try and form a band that would go on a professional level, get signed and tour. Many of you already know I used to be the main guitarist/songwriter for Endless Lament, a melodic death/thrash band. Here I'll be showcasing many styles I love and my solo projects. This will be a place where I know that you will be listening to my music and feedback/commenting on. I record new material often, mostly drum programmed patterns, I use a drum machine (which I'm not that good at) to get the basic idea done and I have all guitars,bass,keyboards and arrangements done by me. I'll be letting out all the music that comes from my soul and sharing it with all my friends here. A lot of the demos on here are also for my new band Dawn Of Dreams music. If you want to read more stuff about me there is an extensive bio in my regular/personal profile which could be found in my top friends list. There you can find many answers to your questions. I don't really have many real life friends, not many people like me and people rarely hang out with me here in New Jersey. Loneliness is another factor that affects my music and the way it comes out. Don't feel sorry and don't try acting to be someone that your really not. Also not on here to pick up girls, I don't want a relationship,a fiancee or marriage so get the point. Be true to yourself as you are to others. ~Tim
