Attitude
I have years of experience as a vocalist, but have been away from music for awhile. I am looking for a band of compatable, pro- level or advanced musicians. I am into joining a band that is or will be gigging in the near future or musicians looking to form a band. I am willing to travel anywhere within the Bay Area or Santa Cruz for the right band. My most recent project was called. " Uncivil Servant" and i have included a link. I can also play bass and rhythm guitar, but prefer to focus mostly on vocals at this time. I am fully vaccinated and all band members need to be fully vaccinated as well.
Influences
As far as vocals, i would say that the following have had the biggest influence ( in no particular order): Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Ozzy, Ian Gillian, Dio, Layne Staley, Howlin Wolf, Willie Dixon, Jim Morrison. I listen to and can sing a wide range of styles. I can sing clean, melodic, operatic vocals as well as the full range of Metal growls, Gutteral, aggressive, and screams. Not a fan of death metal with
cookie monster vocals. However i do appreciate and sing melodic and progressive Death Metal such as : At the Gates, In Flames, Opeth. I am also very much into singing blues and rock, and am able to quickly change style and voices within songs or between.
