I hate doing this: trying to some up my whole personality in a few sentences. I feel so many different things right now. My world has been turned upside down ever since meeting with these guys in the band. My purpose was never grounded, nor did I even know what was going on. It took a solid jam session and I was hooked. I'm thankful everyday that I was allowed to participate in this group of talented and creative people and I only wish to not let any of them down. I look at today's music scene and its plain ... generic with what seems nothing going for it. It is a numbing thing to see that all these "factory produced" groups and bands are making it while countless other genuine and creative people are not. My biggest fear in the world is to just sit around and not do anything. I see in this band great potential, and I truly wake up each day with the sense that I will accomplish my goals. With all that said and off my chest, I guess I should say who influenced me as a bassist. I love funk rock. The Chili Peppers are on the top of my list; Flea is amazing. However, the bassist that has influenced me the most is Justin Chancellor from TOOL. When I sit down and think of bass lines, they always end up as a melody or harmony ... rarely do I stick with root note bass lines.
Favorite Bands: TOOL, A Perfect Circle, Deftones, System Of A Down, Nirvana.
P.S.
Mad props to Kill Cycle, my former band with Karis that does not exist anymore! And thank you Mike, Casey, and Karis for letting me share my music and sharing yours with me.
