ABOUT

My name is Jon Lloyd and I am a guitarist that has been playing for over 20 years who predominantly plays Metal, Rock, Alternative and Grunge.
I am currently based in Portsmouth. I lived in London and worked in in broadcasting for 10 years and am willing to travel throughout the south of the UK.

I am currently looking for bands that are looking for a guitarist in either the Metal, Rock, Alternative and Grunge genres.
I am also looking to form a band / collaborative project and am open to musicians messaging me to work on new bands/projects together.

My Past Musical Accomplishments include;

Supporting Devin Townsend’s Strapping Young Lad during their ‘Alien’ tour.

I wrote all the music for an album that was released by Metal Hammer magazine in 2012. The album was recorded with the producer Russ Russell (Napalm Death, Dimmu Borgir etc) and the band was managed at the time by the German management ‘Direct Management’ (Dimmu Borgir).
