About Me

Howdy people!
I'm 19 and I Started 1Â½ years ago with playing guitar and 1 year ago I formed my own solo project called Camp for comedians and I've done about 100 songs and I do it so people can have a laugh and so that they can smile hearing the music. I started playing the bass in 2000 I think and that's the only instrument I can play kinda good. But guitar is so much more fun to play. I've been in some bands over the years, I think about 3 or 4 bands where I've been playing the bass. But now I'm solo with different guitars, I don't really know if I like being in a band where I can't contribute with any of my own songs but now I can.

I record all my songs in front of the computer with a bad mic, that explains the noise in the background. I don't know how to sing and I don't really know how to play guitar, I just do it because I just had to record them. So don't complain about the voice, I know, but hey it's my style.
