Band/artist history
You are seeing it, unfold.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Initially, I did some performing in public (bars, community events, praise bands, and street fairs). Followed by a period of.. re-interpreting songs made famous by popular artists. - A process that I started to find rather intriguing for a while. Now, It's primarily about writing & producing a variety of "new" music... while enjoying various parts of the creative process.
Your musical influences
Anything and everything that I have ever heard has influenced me... in one way, or another. __
What equipment do you use?
Bass, guitar and keyboards... mostly. And, using DAW's for recording & producing projects to flesh out musical ideas.
Anything else?
I have always believed that the job of an artist has never been to merely reflect the status quo. I feel the artist is also obligated to entertain, amuse, & educate... and, also to shock, appall, stimulate, irritate, and shatter old perceptions... while pushing the public in new directions they had never imagined. __ https://www.soundclick.com/notforthemainstream/?content=songs __ Additionally, my music can be heard on these other online music streaming services: Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon Music, Spotify, and Youtube Music.
