Guitarist bass player singer, jack of all trades master of none lol have been honing my writing skills for a few years now. Used to be a shredder but now i'm more interested in the song itself . Earlier influences included Yngwie Malmsteen , Steve Vai etc, now I'm more into a well written song with decent lyrics than ten hours of top speed guitar solos.   Important influences that may or may not be apparent in my songs are quirky bands such as Radiohead, Porcupine Tree (love 'em !!) and stuff from the less traveled path eg ottoman court music, Indian and middle eastern and Armenian music, just anything that makes your ears prick up.

 Keen to do recordings with and for people as well as just catch up and talk tech or ideas and inspiration or whatever, feel free to message and comment - words are the oil of the social interaction machine .. Thanks for listening ! :-)
