Attitude

I'm a dark-humored, sarcastic person that will go through a lot to make you laugh your ass off and a young, innocent, vulnerable sexy little boy who skates and plays music and my instagram very much represents me accurately. I'm 15. (@poopy_shoes) So yeah let's jam if you're near my age please. I really want to find people around my age to play music with. I want to be serious too and work really hard and play shows. No kiddie-pool bullshit. Hard-working while still having a shit-ton of fun. Just looking for a genuine person or people that want to play music for life and have fun.I want to play live too. I'll probably end up going to Blake High School by then way. Let's play music together. I live in the Palm River/Clair-mel area in a latino ghetto but I go to Tampa everyday and I'll probably be able to see you often if you don't live insanely far. And I might be moving near Carr soon. I'm hoping to meet new musicians and make good friends.

I also listen to some rap too like Tyler the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt.

Equipment

I got a Fender Jaguar and a small shitty amp with some stolen mics.
