ABOUT

My name is Eddie

I've been playing guitar and singing for 12 years and bass for about 8. I strive to avoid playing things that are to simple. I have both played In bands and worked in solo projects.

I grew up listening to punk rock and picked up the guitar when I was 15 although I tryed to learn it sooner I ended up teaching myself being that my parents wouldn't pay for lessons.

It was Kind of difficult but I was determined. Over the years I got bord with playing just power-cords and root notes so I decided to learn a little from other genres in the underground movements of music. As far as styles I can play ska, punk, a little bit of metal, hard rock and some blues.I enjoy the use of scales although I prefer to use them in riffs rather than in a solo yet I do not oppose to playing or writing solo's and do have experience writing a few.

The last Band I was in was called without where I played along side of Britton Bowers, David Burton and Cory Underwood. We Played a fusion sound of grind/ ska/ pop-punk/ hardcore punk/ regee/ metalcore and classic rock. We were a band for about a year but played one show due to our inability to get along, which is something I hope to avoid in the future as it dose destroy bands!

I've worked independently in a solo project where I was able to go into a recording studio with some friends and had the opportunity to distribute that song on a comp c.d. threw Quickstar Productions.

I also have experience In audio/Video production threw schooling and self taught opportunity's. I can plan, shoot, and edit commercials, movies, interview, any sort of thing like that. I can also work with sound production such as mixing the audio, Ive used programs such as Cool Edit and Garage Band in my personal time.

I'm looking to play for a living. I want to pay my bill doing what I love doing. and I want to put in my personality to a good sound and grow with it.

contact me if you think I would be a good fit for your band
