I'm a singer and a piano player. Those two I've been doing since at least 2 years old. I also play the organ (no pun intended..lol), flute, bassoon and percussion keyboard instruments. Those only since I was 12. | |

We're both keyboardists. I am an organist with 6 years of training., but I've played the piano for about 14 years, but the organ is my passion! Adam is mainly piano, but is also studying voice and has been studying both for over 13 years | |

I'm a cellist.. been playing for 12 years. I play piano and guitar also, but without any serious dedication. Improvisation/jamming is one of my most favorite things outside of the strictly classical world. | |

Hey everybody. I've been a jazz pianist since I was 14, so that'd be 20 years (sheesh). Before that I played drums, and played all manner of percussion through high school. I'm a composer and arranger too. | |

I sing and play guitar. I have been off and on since I was 12. I didn't really start seriously practicing/playing till last year. Now I'm getting really good. I have 3 washburns and I love them to death. two of them are WI66Pro one ebony and one a beautiful flameburst finish and seymore ducan 59s and custom's. The other one is a WI66V with an EMG HZ H4 in the bridge.(the same pickup that Alexi Laiho uses in his flying V. For my Amp I'm using a Peavy Valve King 2X12 all tube combo amp. I havent been able to turn the volume past 1 yet and I have dealt with the neighboors already. But this amp is sooo good that I dont need to use any pedals at all. My POD is collecting dust right now. | |

I've always sang. But I started the cello when I was 11, and started teaching myself violin and viola, playing mostly viola in high school. In college, I focused on cello, but also studied piano, voice, and harp. After college, I started playing more viola in bands. After I moved to NYC, I pretty much was playing exclusively viola and started the accordion, which I had ALWAYS wanted to learn. Now I play accordion in my band, viola in orchestras, and fiddle in a few other bands. | |

I play the keyboard and design most of my music with electronics such as the EMU's, Fostex and FL Studios.
It's a great mesh to create ambient and electronica music. I've been creating for about 2 years now. |

Hi guys. Keyboardist, bassist and singer for...well, a long time, LOL. Also play a smidgen of guitar - enough to lay down guitar parts for recording (which will then be someone else's responsibility at live shows). I've released three albums and am working on a fourth. I usually have a new song preview or two on my DList page. | |

Wow - Lot's of talented peeps here! I started kinda late in High School - but found myself playing and gigging with local bands [mostly my uncles bands] touring the hot spots on the island. When I graduated, I was working fulltime as a keyboardist - then later quit music to travel in my late 20's. :] I've just recently returned to writing songs now [A passion I've always done since I can remember] But, I don't miss the live gigs anymore. | |

So first of all, I haven't been on here in a super long time and now that I'm here I'm really excited to see how many friends this group has gained. I guess a little update with me is that I have moved on from any previous bands and am now working with some quite talented musicians in a progressive metal band. We hope to record and start playing shows with in the next 5-6 months. | |
