About Me

Cantonese Traffic's Debut Album is on CDbaby.com!And now, CantoneseTraffic.comI make music. My main instrument is the guitar. Electric and acoustic. Currently I play in a band called "Cantonese Traffic". You can check them out here: CantoneseTrafficI play many different genres of music including blues, jazz, blues rock, psychedelic, acoustic folk, and funk, but more recently I have focused on Jazz. My top musical influence right now is Jimi Hendrix. I have been playing guitar for approximately 7 years, starting when I entered the 6th grade. I also play a little mandolin and electric bass.I have recorded all my songs at my home project studio. I enjoy producing and engineering songs and records as much as I enjoy writing and performing them. I love gear. I suppose you could say I was a certified gear head.Mallard's Sophomore Album
