I'v been a loyal follower of metal for 19 years. Reading written music by age 5, led to a facilitated understanding of classical guitar by age 8. By age 10, the axe was in my hand, spending hours mastering how to play and sing to metallica, megadeth, pantera and slayer songs (mainly). The devil in me was born. After accomplishing grade 8 electric guitar, I was practicing up to 6 hours a day by the time I left home, after A-levels. Performing extreme live music has always been, and will always be, more than a passion. The art of recording was always an interest on my 4-track and digital FX pedal, as a teenager, however accomplishing a BA(Hons) degree in Commercial Music Production and Engineering allowed me to open up new doors in my life.
Having recently turned 27, I am the Director of Hellfire Productions Ltd. and the Chief Recording Engineer & Producer of Hellfire Studios.When I wasn't holding an axe in my arms, I trained in various Martial Arts: Kupso Tuite (vital point attacking, locks, submission, and weapons) -[Au Denku Jitsu, Chandaquan, Tai-Chi Chuan, Tae Kwan Do], Hung Quen Shaolin Kung Fu, Ju Jitsu, Kickboxing, Judo, Kyokushinkai Karate.
I'd like to meet:
All the people, past and present (and future), alive or dead, in all the bands that have influenced me during my life.... i'm not gonna list them here when they're already listed on the website. So please go to the webite! [www.HellfireProductions.com]And of course, we would love to meet You!View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
