Bio:

My keen interest in music was apparent with my endless vinyl spinning at the age of 4, when I'd receive the singles from our pub jukebox on a regular basis. I began experimenting with music production at the age of 9, with my Amiga 500, a basic sampler and tracker programs. Shortly after, I began violin lessons at school and I also took piano lessons for a few months alongside. I learned a few fundamentals, but gave these up for one reason or another. I was mainly interested in dance music at this time, but around the same time, I was also introduced to the likes of Guns 'N' Roses, Metallica and Megadeth which sparked of an interest, (and now my favorite genre), in rock/metal.  

Up until 2005, I mainly concentrated on improving my production skills by reading tons of information on recording techniques, mixing, using effects, etc. and mainly concentrated on making dance music due to my lack of instrumental skills (or instruments). I purchased a drum kit and a Jackson guitar in this year, wishing mainly to play the drums. I then began experimenting with rock/metal production and began teaching myself and focusing more on guitar to help my compositions. I realized concentrating on the guitar, rather than the drums, would be more beneficial due to the increased involvement of music theory, which I now have a desire to master. Since then I've produced a number of tracks, across a few genres, under different guises.  

In 2007 I realized to further myself, I required a teacher. I began searching and reading articles on the internet about the subject and was instantly drawn to the wise words within Mr. Hess' articles. So, I began studying Correspondence Guitar Lessons with Tom in May and joined the Music Careers Mentoring Program in September. I now have a burning desire to play guitar at a professional level, master music theory and continually improve my production techniques so I can manifest into reality whatever musical ideas happen to be dancing around in my mind.
