I've played guitar for a long time, though you might not know it as I didn't play for nearly 10 years until starting again 5 years ago. I've spent a lot of hours practicing in that time and am hopefully now regaining some ability and coordination! I also play keyboards (but pretty badly), and bass (but my bass is out of action at the moment so I rely on midi for creating bass parts).

I haven't joined many collaborations because I tend to work slowly, and am not that confident in my playing or creativity. Also my emphasis on daily guitar practice means I've had lengthy breaks from Kompoz, but I'm happy working on music, whether it's music creation, jamming with other folk or favourite music tracks, or practicing the guitar.

I am interested in creating music in various styles, and had a handful of unfinished compositions, which other Kompoz musicians, lyricists, and vocalists have helped turn into something "better than they were". I'm keen on mixing / engineering, and willing to help mixing people's songs.
