ABOUT

I am looking to start a few projects and I am looking for musicians to be part of each.

1. I am looking for a female singer songwriter who has a passion for 80's synth a pop: Yaz, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode of course Bowie and new artists like Wet Leg.

2. I am looking for a drummer and bass player to form a instrumental guitar blues based project like Jeff Beck
There are examples in my video feed. Feel is very important to me.
