ABOUT

Hi guys, I'm a versatile guitarist with vocals and I'm looking to either start or join a band. I'm not looking for something as a hobby or as something to do on the weekend. I'm looking for a band of 'lifers', musicians that already have and continue to put music first in their life as that's what I've always done and will always do.

My influences are quite varied, from pop punk to chamber folk, ambient instrumental to rock, pop punk and metal. I grew up on the mid 2000's rock/emo/metal scene and have grown from there.

I'll put some links to some demos and recordings below and put some tracks in this profile you can listen to.

If you're looking for a very capable rhythm or lead guitarist with vocals for an existing band or looking to start something thats creative and committed, you can message me either on here, on i_am_become or on Whatsapp - 07380 259 906

Cheers!

- Rich

Influences

I was influenced by a lot of mid-2000s emo/rock/metal growing up. Everything from Green Day, Blink, Paramore, Fallout Boy etc to BFMV, Killswitch Engage, Atreyu, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin and countless others in the almost 20 years since then. I can write and create in pretty much any style involving guitar but I excel in rock, pop punk and metal.

My favourite artists accoring to spotify are Fightstar, Penny and Sparrow (chamber folk), Trivium, Sonata Arctica, Devin Townsend and Yellowcard. I'm not super tied down to specific influences though, I prefer to create something new and unique but it's always nice to have a 'north star' to guide you.
