Maen + Musician in Gaithersburg, MD

SEEKING

ABOUT

Thanks for checking out my profile. I have been playing music for 7 years, majored in music in college, and am currently working in 3 musical projects. I have also released a 14 track album of self composed instrumental folk songs found here: maen.
Other than being a studio musician, I have a significant amount of live performance experience. Primarily, I write metal/djent/pop-punk songs, and wish to continue writing pop-punk with a Djenty/heavy metal/hardcore edge. I used to work at Guitar Center in a managerial position, but am now running a small studio while looking for serious musicians in it for the long haul with an interest not just in the music for a band, but also the business aspect of the music industry.

Please check out the demos and contact me if you're interested.
