i'm looking for musicians to collaborate with

About Me

I'm Raf- a guitar player originally from Orlando, Florida. ive hopped around quite a bit playing with a variety of differant bands including Reason to Burn, Irrational, Makeshifte, AM Conspiracy, Munk Tung and Retard-o-bot. as much fun as its been, and through all the great people i've met so far, I finally want to do a project that i had a part in creating. i have ideas from years back that i've never had the opportunity to use with any band before and i definitely don't want them to go to waste. ive been writing alot of differant tunes and ultimately i want to find a BAND TO PLAY THEM IN!!! I'm looking for like-minded musicians who want the same, are creative, want and have the ability to write good music and are ready to work hard.
The song i've posted is just pre-production. some layered guitars and programmed drums. ive got plenty more ideas. :
