Story

I have been playing music since I was 14 starting with the bass guitar simply because I was not as good as my friends on guitar. I do not consider myself as a musician but I can play a few instruments, don't have too bad a voice and love to entertain. I work full time (now part time, *edit now I'm out of work) while making music and videos. To be honest I don't know a great deal about the studio side of making music but I am having fun learning. DO NOT EXPECT PAID STUIDO QUALITY from me lol. I work with Adobe Audition. I write original compositions and indulge in a few covers although I really make these covers my own by completely changing them, well, some of them. Sometimes you will have no idea which song it is til the chorus. I do what makes me happy and I hope you enjoy it too. I dare you to have a listen. I am on YouTube and Twitch with my acoustic session and my original backing tracks. I am currently making an album purely for myself. I will be uploading songs soon. *Update Millennial Benz by Shinysides I have an official single coming out soon on all major music streaming platforms. Pre sale orders 23rd July 2021 and official release date 6th August 2021. Support new artists.

HIghway To Hell by AC/DC

AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, most of the rock bands plus many other artists from various genres.

What inspires you to make music?

To entertain myself.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Have fun, don't take things too seriously.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Happy, excited and naughty

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Don't understand, reality?

What do you think of Drooble?

I had never heard of it until I got invited by Dave Hunt. I guess I'll have to answer that later when I have had a chance to find out.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

I would not consider myself a musician but just someone who can play a little guitar and write some schwifty tunes. I guess not being able to play lol

Yes, I go to jam nights/open mic nights, I try to see local bands but I'm a little busy

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

I don't think it is about qualities that gets the music heard. Marketing is the key. Get it out there, play some gigs and let the fans share it.

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

I have no idea who you have or have not heard of. Shpongle?
