About Me

Im a funky-ass guitar player. So watch out ! I loveee funk music !! I can play guitar standing on my head. Ive been playing guitar for about 10 years now. I have taken formal lessons on and off. I was born in Toronto, Ontario on November 4th, 1985. I can jump really high on tuesdays. I love chinese food. I live the beautiful city of Victoria, British Columbia. I enjoy playing hockey. I love music, its my life ... and will be for ever. Mike Einziger is my hero and is the best guitar player out there in my eyes. The first cd i bought was Follow the leader from Korn. I honestly wish I was a bird, because they have some much freedom. I dont understand how the world fully works, but i have almost cracked it, and dont like it much, but I wont let it being me down. When I grow up I want to be an alien. I enjoy reading something interesting. My favorite colour is a red and yellow mix, its called orange. I have nothing left to tell you, you can find the rest out for yourself. Play safe and have fun ! ADIOS !
