I'm a singer and a piano player. Those two I've been doing since at least 2 years old. I also play the organ (no pun intended..lol), flute, bassoon and percussion keyboard instruments. Those only since I was 12. | |

We're both keyboardists. I am an organist with 6 years of training., but I've played the piano for about 14 years, but the organ is my passion! Adam is mainly piano, but is also studying voice and has been studying both for over 13 years | |

I've played keys in one form or another since i was a child ('round 6ish?) but I've only worked with the digital medium for about 2 years. Currently I play keyboards and sequence using an array of software and hardware | |

I'm a cellist.. been playing for 12 years. I play piano and guitar also, but without any serious dedication. Improvisation/jamming is one of my most favorite things outside of the strictly classical world. | |

Hey everybody. I've been a jazz pianist since I was 14, so that'd be 20 years (sheesh). Before that I played drums, and played all manner of percussion through high school. I'm a composer and arranger too. | |

I'm an opera singer in training, as well as a pianist (currently working on Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso). The piano is just for fun, though. | |

I sing and play guitar. I have been off and on since I was 12. I didn't really start seriously practicing/playing till last year. Now I'm getting really good. I have 3 washburns and I love them to death. two of them are WI66Pro one ebony and one a beautiful flameburst finish and seymore ducan 59s and custom's. The other one is a WI66V with an EMG HZ H4 in the bridge.(the same pickup that Alexi Laiho uses in his flying V. For my Amp I'm using a Peavy Valve King 2X12 all tube combo amp. I havent been able to turn the volume past 1 yet and I have dealt with the neighboors already. But this amp is sooo good that I dont need to use any pedals at all. My POD is collecting dust right now. | |

I've always sang. But I started the cello when I was 11, and started teaching myself violin and viola, playing mostly viola in high school. In college, I focused on cello, but also studied piano, voice, and harp. After college, I started playing more viola in bands. After I moved to NYC, I pretty much was playing exclusively viola and started the accordion, which I had ALWAYS wanted to learn. Now I play accordion in my band, viola in orchestras, and fiddle in a few other bands. | |

I play the keyboard and design most of my music with electronics such as the EMU's, Fostex and FL Studios.
It's a great mesh to create ambient and electronica music. I've been creating for about 2 years now. |

So first of all, I haven't been on here in a super long time and now that I'm here I'm really excited to see how many friends this group has gained. I guess a little update with me is that I have moved on from any previous bands and am now working with some quite talented musicians in a progressive metal band. We hope to record and start playing shows with in the next 5-6 months. | |

Hey I really wanna play in a band soon. Anyone in MA interested in playing in a metal band email me. Check out my profile for my influences.(I have like 150 songs on my music player) My top 3 bands are Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, and the old Guns N Roses. I play guitar and I'm gonna be putting solos and balads back into rock and metal. I love long ballads like guns n roses! I have a place with a basement where we can more than likely play:D | |
