I'm 26 and I've been playing music since I was 13. I mostly just write songs for guitar and sing, but I'm trying to get more into the whole "mixing" part of producing music.
Guitar, Drums, Keyboard and Bass
I use Sony Sound Forge 7.0 and a little multi-track recorder that's called "BandX" and Acid Xpress 5.0
Blaqk Audio - Cex cells
Panic at the Disco - A Fever you can't sweat out
Cobra Starship - when the city sleeps . . .
Say Anything - Was a Real Boy . . .
Fall Out Boy - Infinity on High
My earlier influences are bands like: nirvana, NIN, foo fighters, ben folds five, and bush.
My recent ones are A.F.I., Jimmy eat World, White Stripes, A7X, Thrice, Fall out Boy, Panic at the Disco, and Yellowcard . . . just to name a few.
