Hey people, my name is David Joh and I go to CalPoly Pomona.
As of right now I am working at MWD (Metropolitan Water District) [Worked more than a year as an intern :)] and do quality control testing on drinking waters, yea that's right the water you drink if you live in the LA county region! I also used to work at a cosmetic company called Bluefield Associates, Inc. that made make cosmetics for the "colored people," which was there slogan. Check it out on the web! And before that I used to work at a liquor store which my parents owned, we had owned for the last 9 years and we got it sold :o, those were some good times :_(
I am now in my fifth year and I am a Chemical Sciences major with emphasis in kicking A$$ :(). Hooray for chemicals! My dream right now is to get into forensic science with my Chem degree. I'm working with Dr. Rakesh Mogul (PHD in Bio-Chemistry) on my senior project and it is really close to completion. My hobbies are listening to cool music, creating music with my computer and other instruments, playing games, and sleeping :) My music is more of a hobby and school always comes first, always. Scratch that, GOD always comes first, then school and blah blah blah. After going to church and experiencing GOD firsthand, it has really kept me in good spirits. I will try to go in a different direction with my music and incorporate both secular and nonsecular musical types into my music. A lot of band over the years have influenced my music, from the oldies like the good old Motown stuff to the new psychedelic sounds that echo from the new bands. Basically, I just want to make good music and have fun doing it.
Music from Video games that use midis have been a big influence for me. Staying up late and playing Super Mario Bros. or playing Legend of Zelda, I wanted to recreate those sounds. During my high school days I would listen to some SKA bands, Reel Big Fish, the Aquabats, Mustard Plug, etc. But after the scene died down, I moved on to other things. After playing some piano, I learned of 80's music and listened to Bruce Springsteen and the E street band(Dancing in the Dark, My first synth/rock song!), Sting, Asia, Rod Stewart, and Queen. Incorporating psychedelic guitar rifts with heavy synth usage, I knew I wanted to make rock/synth music. After listening to those I started to listen to some folk rock and listened to mellow stuff. I listened to the Byrds and the Beatles and really liked the jangly guitar stuff. Then came the Killers and alot of indie/alternative music I have listened to really affected my musical tastes. I also enjoy listening to creative music with heavy synth sounds such as Sound Team and listening to some creative ways to make rap such as BECK. As os right now, being a praise leader, I have spent some time listening to alot of praise songs and listening to the gospel rich music from Indelible grace and Sovereign grace ministries.
Right now I am one of the praise leaders at my church, (LCC) Lord's Community Church. I play predominantly bass guitar but I switch it up with my tele for some songs. It is my wish for my church to grow spiritually and I work hard, with the help of pastor James Kim, in choosing the songs that will glorify God, Soli Deo Gloria!

Thanks for visiting, Dave.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
These are just temporary/demo songs I have currently sequenced. Once I can save up money for a microphone, I will post some more guitar and vocal stuff.
