stikmanstyles + Musician in Newark, OH

ABOUT

My father taught me from age 6 to play percussion, read,write,compose, transpose, you name it. Leaned jazz first, moved up the swing line until I was 14 and could pay rudiments with a bass drum. Than I could play Rock..... I can sing, I have a very wide range of styles I can keep in the pocket doing. Abd my guitar is best. Served as either solo, or back up. I don't know chords, though I pay some verry advanced ones. I'm looking for music to play. I don't require much money....if any depending on what the gig is... Music isn't all about money to me, it helps things from going south, but for me... When my heart can't find the words, music is born....
