About Me

I am a 22 year old single guy. I am a lead guitarist, singer, and songwriter. I enjoy life, love, and ROCK N ROLL! I'm in the process of building a career as a professional musician. I work very hard to get any job done. I'd like to make one thing clear, ***I WILL ALWAYS PURSUE MY DREAMS AND TRY MY ABSOLUTE BEST TO DO THE RIGHT THING***. I love music and everything about it. I am attending the GIT program at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California. I've been playing guitar for 7 years. I was born and raised in Los Lunas, New Mexico. A place I absolutely love and miss every day. I do enjoy California and I am very thankful for all the support, help, and opportunity I have recieved over the years. My friends and family are very supportive of me, and have stood by me in some of the best and worst times.---------------------------- I'm also a very avid gearhead. I was raised in a shop, and have a natural need for speed. I love muscle cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, and anything that goes fast, or has an engine. Message me, comment me, or request me!
