About Me

I started out playing violin and piano, got very good at both, but wasn't really feeling the classical music thing. So I went to college to study bio and possibly become a doctor. But I wasn't really feeling that either, so I went back to music and this time started exploring that whole "rock 'n roll" thing. I picked up guitar, drums, bass, singing, and everything just made sense. So yeah, that's what I do now.

Specifics? Well the band count's down a bit after some serious upheaval, but I still drum for Romp (rock 'n roll), and sing for Try.Fail.Repeat (prog rock). Still not looking to join new bands though, specially not after the previous month, for now the plan is really push TFR, have some fun with Romp, and see where things go from there. So yeah, stay tuned.
