About Me |
|
| I grew up listening to 80s rock and metal, from Van Halen and Scorpions to Iron Maiden and Metalllica (when they were cool). In 1993 I fell into writing lead guitar (and lots of it) over my riff-heavy songs, so I became an instrumental guitarist, though I never listened to them much.
I picked up endorsements with Peavey, Alvarez Guitars, and Morley Pedals since putting out my first album, THE FIREBARD, and am gigging and recording the next album now. I love to hear from people so drop me a line or join my friend list and post a comment! |
