Hi!
I'm Kieran, 24. I've been playing the guitar for nearly 15 years now, both electric and acoustic, as my primary instrument, but I'm also self taught on piano, have played bass live on multiple occasions, sing to a vaguely acceptable standard, and play drums very basically. Check out my soundcloud if you want a sonic idea of my abilities!

As the ad title suggests, I'm looking to form a pop/rock band, as that's what I'm best at writing. I have quite an eclectic range of influences, from The Beatles to The Pretty Reckless, from Prince to The 1975, but I'm pretty flexible. If you're not sure if I'll be interested, just drop me a message because I may surprise you!
I'm ideally looking to form a band with people roughly my age with similar sorts of influences, but I'm open to any opportunities at this point! I'd want to play guitar, but for recording purposes I'm capable of recording keyboard/piano parts, various percussion parts, and backing vocals.
Whilst I do sing (as you can hear on my Soundcloud) I don't believe I'm particularly great, so unless my voice is somehow exactly what you want, I don't really see myself being a lead vocalist.
I've studied music (composition and technology) right through to degree level, so I'm fairly advanced on music theory, songwriting, and recording. I've been writing my own music for as long as I can remember. My style seems to frequently shift from heavily 60s influenced stuff, to wannabe 80s, so I guess I'm quite versatile in that regard! I also record all my own music and demos (I'm not perfect, but I think my ability is definitely acceptable for demo standard recordings for soundcloud/social media) so I can record and mix any work I may record with yourselves.
I've played live on many occasions, and during my university years I was part of a rock band in London, as well as playing gigs in various different parts of the country, so I've had plenty of experience performing live.
Anyway, feel free to get in touch! Send me a message on here, or if you'd rather text me, my number is: 07827220902. Hopefully hear from some of you soon!
