'Gone til winter' and 'inbred quarter'.......the two best bands in the world.

About Me

I hate talking about myself so this won't take very long! I am a pianist/keyboard player currently playing with Cradle of Filth, but I am into everything from new Orleans jazz to Cat Power and Damien Rice. I am not an arrogant person, nor do i like arrogant people. I try to be honest and don't like to be fucked around, which is difficult in the music industry, but atleast I have no enemies. I also have a solo porject on the go, named 'Rosa Damascena' which you can find in my top eight. It is the first time I have sung for years so bare with me as I do intend to have lessons soon! It is still in the experimental stages at the moment, and the songs that you can hear on there were just recorded in my bedroom! I know, I'm so hardcore....... MySpace Profile Photo Editor
