Soul Calligraphy started as a solo project by Adam Driskell doing progressive metal. Now it is a full band with singer, drummer, keyboardist and guitarist. I (Adam Driskell), primary song writer and guitarist of Soul Calligraphy, started out playing simple punk songs by Relient K and the All American Rejects. I saw that I had a gift for music and started writing punk songs. Then my good ol' father Gavin Driskell, who sang on Flame of War, showed me my first ever Dream Theater song, Innocence Faded. I was amazed by how good they are and how their music takes you places that other types of music couldn't. They are my number one influence for music writing and John Petrucci is my number one influence for guitar playing. After listening and getting into Dream Theater, I started listening to Rush, Yes, ELP, Symphony X, Opeth and countless other progressive bands. I use and try to combine all of their writing styles into my music. Now I've been writing music for about 2 years and playing guitar for 4.
