About Me


Add a myspace jukebox to your profile.

I do vocals and write music in San Antonio metal band, NonXistence. Check us out on My Space here .

You can check out our official site at www.non-x.com .

Please listen to our songs, download them, and let us know what you think. Thanks!

I'm a very open-minded and outgoing person. My family and friends mean a lot to me. I spend a lot of time writing and playing music. There is way more to me than I could ever write on here, so feel free to ask any questions you like! MyGen Profile Generator
