Hi folks, my name's Danny, I'm a 28 year old London based musician and producer. Been working as a full time guitarist/bassist/singer for the last 6 years, a job that I love and am very grateful to have, but which ultimately involves playing mainly cover gigs around and outside of town with a bunch of different bands. Been writing music since I was 14, and been in many original bands along the way, but it's been a while since I've gotten into a room with people and just jammed and written music together, so I'm looking to get back into that and have some fun doing it!
Looking for talented musicians who love the process of writing and performing music... guitar is my main instrument, love singing backing vocals and happy to take the occasional lead although don't really want to be THE main singer... would rather focus on the riffs Musically very open minded, with a soft spot for classic and alt rock, modern electro/indie/guitar pop, funk and jazz (favourite artists include Queen, The Police, Toto, Dire Straits, Biffy Clyro, Mutemath, Muse, Foos, The XX, London Grammar, John Mayer and Stevie Wonder). It would be horrifically cliche to say that I want to create something that's unheard of... although I do place a lot of value on originality and 'outside the box' composition, especially in the modern age where quantity seems to have gained the upper hand over substance in pretty much everything. *rant over*
Have written a fair bit of music over the past few years... not really looking to bring much of it into a new project and would rather start fresh... although if you want to get some idea of what I was up to a year or two ago, go to Soundcloud and type in "Gemini Sun The Lines We Draw", which is a solo project EP I had recorded at home. I'm playing all instruments except the drums on that one (and obviously female vocals hah)!
In the past, I've made the mistake of making grand sweeping statements from the very beginning about ambition, world-domination, blah blah... this time round, I'm planting my feet firmly on the ground and would be happy to just meet cool talented musos to write some tunes with, then take it from there! Get in touch if this is something that sounds interesting to you, would be cool to have a chat
Peace
Danny
