34y M guitarist looking to join/form a hard rock/metal band, with focus on writing original music and playing gigs.
I have a wide range of musical influences, so it's difficult to distil down specifically, but it generally spans from a lot of nu-metal/progressive metal and hard-rock/rock, to electronic and house influences. My guitar influences would be; Jim Root, Adam Jones, Matt Bellamy, Wes Borland and Nile Rodgers.
I have my own gear, to a professional standard, own my own vehicle and can generally practice anywhere within the Liverpool or Manchester region (currently live near Liverpool, but work in Manchester).
I have been playing guitar (self-taught) on and off since I was 16/17, and have experience being in numerous bands over this time.
Specifically, I have experience of:
Performing live (lead/rhythm and backing vocals)
Writing and recording original music
Organising and maintaining/managing many operational aspects of band (Music distribution, Social Media, networking, promoting content etc.)
Organising and producing marketing strategies and content
My priorities for a band would be:
1. Simply having fun (because that's what it's all about at the end of the day)
2. Writing meaningful music
3. Performing live regularly
4. Keeping an eye on the big picture and setting realistic goals and milestones to get there
What I think I would bring to the table:
1. Professionalism
2. Productivity
3. Ambition
Generally, I want to write music that makes a difference to people's lives, just like the music I listen to has made a difference in mine. I want my music to reach the biggest audience possible and I am constantly looking out for methods to do this. From competitions, to networking with promotors, to gigs etc. I will pull up trees to make this a reality.
I already have a lot of unfinished ideas, and my plan for 2026 is to finish these, and it would be great to find a group for people who share the same ambition.
Feel free to drop me a message if interested.
Thanks
