I am here for Friends

About Me

Hello potential myspace friends! My name is Chris Rushing. I am a guitarist (Canvas Solaris, The Burden of Existence and The Universe Divide) and aspiring music producer (CRUSHING PRODUCTIONS),I ocasionally make an attempt to play bass and drums. I love to write theme songs and "mimic" conversation with my guitar. I am interested in networking with other musicians and bands but would prefer that you send a msg along with your friend request.

When I am not out destroying arenas and making platinum hits (seriously), I work for an electrical contractor. I spend most of my non-musical time (which isn't much these days) playing with my two cats (I love animals), doing home improvement projects and driving my soon to be wife crazy.

Request friendship if you dare!
