ABOUT

Imagine a sound that weaves together the dark, brooding atmospheres of Depeche Mode, the jangly hooks of Echo & The Bunnymen, and the introspective melancholy of The Cure. This is the sonic landscape navigated by your bassist extraordinaire, whose fingers dance across the fretboard with a precision that belies their passion for creating something new.

My playing style deftly balances technical prowess with emotional depth. Each note is carefully crafted to evoke a sense of longing or urgency, as if the very fabric of reality was being tweaked by an invisible force.

I'm currently the bassist for the band PETROL. We play alternative rock from mostly the 80s, 90s, british pop, and some more modern songs mixed in.

For rhythm/acoustic guitar: I am not a solo guitarist, but am really good at chords. I do lots with alternate tunings on the acoustic (DADGAD, and open A / E tunings with Capos, etc). I also enjoy lots of experimenting with new chord progressions. Have written numerous acoustic songs and would enjoy collaborating on more.

I also produce EDM / dance/trance music. I enjoy dubstep, deep house, club type of music too. I use FL Studio for my creations.
