About Me

Hey y'all its Brent. I am 22 and I was born and raised in Gastonia, NC. I have been a musician for most of my life playing drums, keyboards, guitar and vocals. I love music. Its my escape from all the drama in life. I love to write songs. I love to hang out with my friends any time I get the chance and I have heard I am loud and funny when I drink. I am currently single because every girl I date ends up screwing me over for no reason. I have been with a band called Two Step-The ultimate dmb tribute for almost five years and it will come to an end in September. I am now the drummer for a band called Blues By Soul my good friend Ben Gatlin started three years ago and loving it. I spend a lot of my time trying to get my music store off the ground but it needs business. COME BUY SOMETHING PEOPLE!! Its called Drumworks ETC. and its in Lowell, NC. Come see me. Anyway, thats all I got, but if you want to know more hit me up.
