SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Hi, my name is Ian! I am a multi-instrumentalist based out of Summerfield, North Carolina. I just graduated with a degree in drumset/percussion performance and music production from Berklee College of Music and I am new to the area of Summerfield/Greensboro. I am most proficient on drumkit but i am very capable playing hand percussion, guitar, bass, keys, and/or singing background vocals.
In terms of playing different genres I am extremely versatile. I can play rock, indie, punk, metal, hardcore, midwest emo, jazz, country, pop, blues, R&B, neo-soul, samba, and much more.
I am looking to play in a fun semi-serious band environment with other motivated musicians. I enjoy being driven and getting work done but i also love lightheartedness and having fun and open minded while doing so.
I prefer message be sent to my account inbox but i have provided my number just in case i don't get the email notifying me of your message. Have a great morning/day/night :) -Ian
