About Me

Hi, I'm Brad. In my spare time I like to play the guitar and piano and sing and write music (not all concurrently. Some concurrently, but not all. Still trying to figure out how to play guitar and piano at the same time). I play some guitar in a Christian rock band called New Method and I am trying to start a little band called From Ohio With Love .
In my not-so-spare time, I work here .
I'm married and I LOVE it. God has truly blessed me with an amazing friend with whom I am lucky to grow old. I'm slightly addicted to coffee, shoes and plaid shirts. I guess if those are my only addictions, I'm not too bad off...
Someday I'd like to be in a position financially where I can open a coffee shop and a recording studio. The really cool part is my wife and I share this same aspiration. (Well, if I get that recording studio, we'd better live above it or I might never be home...)
I proudly play Takamine and Fender guitars and Yamaha pianos (I am really jonesing for a P90 if anyone wants to make donations... *smiles*).
If there is something else you're dying to know, just ask! Really.
Have you ever wanted a t-shirt with my name or some fancy art stuff on it? No? That's cool. Well, if you would happen to like one, you can just click on the picture right below...

More from Brad Roll at Myxer

I guess musically the one person who has influenced me the most is my wife, Rebekah - she's my greatest muse. She influences me not only to write the most passionate music I can but also to be the best person I can be. Her value to me can never be adequately articulated in song or with words.I am also influenced greatly by my Mom, Dad, brothers Matt and Collin and my whole family. They gave me the support I so desperately needed everytime. They are the greatest family a kid could ask for.My friends also have played a very important role in my development as a musician. They have always made me feel more important than I actually probably am.As a person, I look to Jesus as my greatest influence.
