About Me

Hey there! ... Not very much to say. I was born in Brawley, Ca. I'm 19. It was about 5 years ago when i first picked up a $20 acoustic laying around my house. I wanted to try something new so i kept playing and upgraded to an electric guitar starter kit after a couple years(and believe me, for me that was an upgrade with the acoustic i was using haha) I'm still trying to work my way up and I know there's a lot more I need to learn.
-Demo's-
"14:41" is a short instrumental i made from one of my original songs(so it's not the whole song.) This is my first recording.
"Ricochet" is my First full length instrumental. I put a lot of work into this song and i took most of my time working on the drums. The mixing and mastering also took a good amount of time.
"Sphinx" is my 2nd complete instrumental. This song took me the least amount of work besides 'Hour 3' to finish. It was finished in less than a week if you count the days i worked on it.
"Blood n Iron" is my 1st song with Vocals in it. When i think of singers i think of singers from New Wave British Bands(NWOBHM) So, that's the kind of style i'm going for in my singing. And obviously i need a lot of practice.. haha.
"Driven to the edge" is my 2nd song with Vocals. I spent more time on this song then any of my other songs. Believe it or not, i spent the most time doing the vocals haha and writing the lyrics. It's my longest song, yet.
"Hour 3" is a quick recording i did with just one guitar, no drums, no bass. Everytime i play i warm up with the "Clean" channel and move on to "Overdrive" and normally end up in Overdrive. This one day after a few hours of playing i ended up with the Clean channel on and came up with Hour 3. I don't only listen to Heavy Metal. I have a soft side too haha.
I hope you guy's enjoy them.
