Band to Join, Vocalist, Drums.ABOUT
://markehlenmusic/
musically, I'm not really a singer. I'm a guitarist and a writer.
I’ve discovered that I somehow write best by attempting to simultaneously write the lyric, vocal melody, and rhythm guitar part of a song.
It’s like improvising an entire song based on one strong moment of feeling. Of course, there is quite a bit of pausing that takes place, while I re-write and edit things. But thats the general workflow.
I'm currently looking to make a band to jam, collaborate, and eventually gig with.
music is what I wanna do for now.4
