SEEKING
Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion.ABOUT
Niches are about boarders, frontiers. I like to explore a variety of genres & instruments, with tribal rhythm and percussion as a common thread. The human coefficient. I favor poetical lyrics because I’m a romantic, and sociopolitical comments because they are both meaningful and urgently necessary in today’s society. I am a self-taught man. I play all (or most) instruments on my tracks. I clean, edit and pre-mix my tracks in my studio. Most importantly, I keep learning every day.

Influences
Everything that's focused, emotional, tribal, well written, progressive or else minimalist, majestic, with deep lyrics.
I love everything that sounds human, tribal, percussive, rhythm forward.
I grew up in the 90s so I love Grunge, and variations of Metal that tend to transcend the niche, like RATM or Tool.
