About Me

An Introduction...
After a little over sixteen years of living his life, Steve 'coops' Cooper now prides himself over being one of the most mentally strong people within his community. He says that his mental strength is mainly down to his friends, which he says he doesnt deserve, and at other times they don't deserve him.
Despite being an Ex-Cricketer, Ex-Rugby Player and an Ex-Footballer, he is not so much known for his participation in the sports. However he is more reknowned for his love of music. Not only his love of listening and watchin both recorded and live music, but his love of playing instruments. He is more well known for his Guitar Playing skills, however he also plays the Bass and the Keyboard. However he believes he is best at the guitar and aims to 'stick with that'. Not only does he enjoy playing instruments such as the guitar, but he also very much enjoys teaching close friends and occasionally family. He is currently not in a band, but is always available, and says he aims to make his own band within the next couple of years.
Common Questions...
Where Did the Name 'Coop's Come From?
This was a name created a while back, and comes from the beginning of my surname (strangely enough..). Thats all that can be said really, other than its something ive become somewhat accustomed to this name, everyone calls me it and its now become one of the only names i repsong to!
What made you start playing guitar and Are you any good?
Me starting with this instrument all began when a 'friend' of mine said that i was never going to be able to play any musical instrument because of me being deaf and all. So i decided to prove him wrong, and it would seem that i have now become somewhat well known for my skill in this instrument having gained years worth of experience in the past 18 months. As far as being good goes, ill let you be the judge, more than happy to play for ya whenever ya want ;)...
Should I be scared?
This one always manages to amuse me (not really that hard to figure out why). The thing most people need to keep in mind is not really to mess with me and if you do, expect the unexpected my dear friend. :)
How comes you always seem so quiet?
A very common question, however those few people that do really know me, know that im not quiet at all. However most of the time, usually within the boundaries of the school, i tend to turn on the 'stereotype' which people choose to believe i am, however those few do know different, and who knows eh...you might know different soon and all :)
Will Add More If I Get Time!

My Interests

My main interests include those of music. That includes both listening to it and creating my own. I also get a lot of enjoyment out of playing instruments and watching and listening to music live. I also very much enjoy both the hot and cold weather that our country may or may not provide. PLaying sports, mainly football, is also a big interest of my life. Not that i take this sport seriously anymore...not after what's happened in the past....
