Keeping it short and sweet. I am a 25 year old multi-instrumentalist from the South East. I studied Music Production at Southampton Solent University. Whilst there I was part of a vibrant open mic / jam night scene between 4 different venues where I picked up more knowledge on guitar, bass, keys, drums and vocals. I had 3 bands over the 3 years I spent in Southampton but had to return home due to insufficient funds.
I most recently was part of a band called 'Helio'. We had 3 singles called 'Helio', 'Bold & Blind' and 'Drowning. All of which are on Spotify and Apple Music.
I am looking for anything from a 3 to a 5 piece band, no preference on gender, I am looking more for how well we'd be able to jam together and write together. I already have around 20 songs I'd like to work on in small doses, to finally get a chance to play them live!
Cheers, oh and if the site doesn't say anywhere already, my name's Michael. I hope hear from you soon!
