Music Makes Me!!!!

About Me

Im Based in the North shore, Artarmon to be Exact, but my bands extend out to the city, and the Northern Beaches. I started playing the drums in mid 2000 (year 10) at high school, although I had wanted to play since I was in year 3, but mum said no so I played Piano for a few years, Guitar for a year, and the sax for about 6 months... in Year 11 I picked up elective music and studied it for the HSC...I realised halfway through yr 12, 2002, that I wanted to study music at college - but I wanted a contemporary course that would teach me more than how to read music. I studied for 3 years at the JMC academy, whilst being tutored by Drummers such as Jack Savage and Clinton Harn, for a Bachelor of Arts in Music and performance and found my feet playing for lots of different bands, in lots of different styles. My main idols are :Rob Hirst, Chad Smith, Lloyd G, and Yanya Boston.My Track Record Includes: 600ml: Pub-Rock/Punk, Farewell To Arms: Alternative/Rock/Folk, The J Strokes:Rock/Pop, Daddy Said So: Pop/Indie, Vexed: Pop/Rock, By The Sea: Rock/Alternate/folk - www.bytheseamusic.com, Held: Rock/Heavypop/Grunge - www.myspace.com/heldmusic & www.heldmusic.com.I now play in a few bands...Delicate: Pop/Rock/Powerpop - More details very soon!!!A Little Revolution: Rock/Pop/Jazz/Acoustic - www.myspace.com/alittlerevolution & www.alittlerevolution.com.au .She Is: I actually play guitar in this band... Pop/Acoustic/rock www.myspace.com/sheistheband .Precious: Pop/Jazz/rock - Fronted by Elisha Keen www.myspace.com/elishakeen .Brett Every: Rock/Blues/Lounge - www.myspace.com/brettevery .I also teach drums for beginners to intermediate players. I do this from home in my private studio. I love this so much. I really get something out of passing knowledge that I have learnt or be taught to somebody else.Anyway - Music really is my life, my passion and my world. I love what I do, and that I can do it so frequently. I have the support of my family and friends which not alot of people get, so I am really thankful for that..hope to see you around lots of loveLauren
