 From The Depths.

Hello to anyone interested in a little about me. I grew up in south wales and spent most of my teenage years listening to bands like Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, Pearl Jam and many others. Age 14 I picked up my first guitar and tried my hardest to create any kind of noise that resembled music. After a few months I discovered that by some miracle I had managed to learn a few chords and even a song or two. I had the hunger. After that I began to learn basic blues riffs and songs like "Wonderwall", Oasis and Amazing Grace. I then developed a liking to other styles such as folk and classical music that as a child i shunned as it was the music my parents and grandparents would make me listen to. I then began writing music in 2005. After 7 years of playing other peoples music, I decided it was time to produce "my sound" which i had been working on for quite some time. Although the tracks uploaded have a fairly laid back approach I am heavily influenced by: metal, blues, and plain old r'n'r in allot of my other tracks. I love all music and always will. It is THE most important thing in my life at the moment. Recently I have started to play a lot of folk and I am finding it most interesting, which surprised me. It has opened my mind to a totally different style of guitar playing and I am really enjoying learning the theory and logistics behind it. That is about all I can tell you about my music history so far, so I will now leave you to make your own decisions about my music... Enjoy...Peace out... J.D. x
