Music is first and foremost in my life, and my impending need for a career.

I'm primarily a piano and keyboard player (classically trained), but I also play the electric guitar and am working on playing bass too. I've played the piano for nine years, guitar for three, and bass for like....two months?

I love playing instruments and learning new things about them. Learning to play something new is almost like discovering something about yourself. It's a very amazing feeling once you nail that 16th note arpeggiated run (thanks Bumblefoot).

I'm studying at Bury College at the moment, finishing off a BTEC in Music Practise, which i'm becoming extremely nervous about. Everything appears to be building up too much so i'm going to have to get back into the regime and get my ass in gear!

Currently, the people I listen to the most come from the jazz fusion area of music. The reason for this is that the phrasing and note choice abilities of those accomplished at this genre really astound me. I really find it difficult to be able to comprehend why someone played a bunch of notes, even in some cases when they're diatonic! People that do this to me are:

Greg Howe
Allan Holdsworth
Guthrie Govan
Joey Tafolla
Charlie Parker
John Coltrane

Not such a big list I know, but I dont need one. These guys rule my world. As some of you may or may not know, i'm also a bloody massive Dream Theater fan. I have been for years and probably will continue to be for a very long time. Good going guys.

So, I went on a bit of a ramble, but whatever. I hope you learned a bit more about me!

I LOVE RAPE!
