SEEKING

ABOUT

I have been playing the guitar on and off for about 15 years but I was first introduced to it when I was 8 years old by my late brother.

I write my own songs and my own chords. I'm not as good at playing as I used to be and my voice needs a little more training. I like to play folk, rock and acoustic music with elements of 50s rock n roll.

Because of COVID19, i'm not able to get a busking license to play on the streets so i've signed up on Twitch to do live performances. I might do and live performances in the future too.
