My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/06/2007
Band Website: GuySpace
Band Members: Joseph MacKay. Anyone looking to get together and make a song or something, though, can definitely contact me. --------------------- People who have worked with me on some of my music: Sam Hafer (What I Wanna Do), Travis Otterson (Crazy), Walter Lester (Summer Time)
Influences: For my acoustic stuff, mainly Tenacious D, Stephen Lynch, and Sublime. Justin King, Andy McKee, Don Ross and Antoine Dufour are also big influences of mine, but their guitar playing skill and creativity are so far above mine that I have no hope of even getting close to their level of talent. Aside from those, I think that the other stuff that I listen to (mainly metal, rock, and reggae) also influences what I make, but on a lesser scale. My other influences include: Hulk Hogan, Chuck Norris, movies, power metal, D&D, video games, my friends, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dethklok, Fensler films, and the ridiculous amount of documentaries I tend to watch. When I write music, I try and think of Bob Ross:
Sounds Like: 100% pure amateur music. Enjoy.
Record Label: Unsigned

An Interesting Thought...

For a long time I've realized that people either classify me in two ways: they say I'm way too serious, or that I can never take anything seriously. I have no idea why I'm on both sides of the spectru...
