I can play the piano and recorder alright, only because my school made me learn. I know a few notes on the guitar.

I'm a piano player interested in ragtime and novelty piano, with some hopes in the future towards stride and jazz styles. Problem is, I'm bad at improvising.
I’m mostly here for... something to do, I suppose.

I can play Saxophone (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass), Bb Clarinet, Bb Bass Clarinet, to an extent trumpet and trombone, and eventually will learn to play piano; I am quite proud of my singing ability and am considered quite talented, I sing Bass, can sing tenor, have an average falsetto, and I am teaching myself how to rap.

I suck at guitar though, and I am somewhat competent at the violin.

I am in a band at the moment that specialises in a sort of experimental symphonic style of music.
My friend plays bass guitar, Bb clarinet and backing vocals.
I am the lead vocalist (vocal range C2 to A5), but I also play the piano, electric and acoustic guitar, drums (though we are looking for a drummer at the moment), and some violin and cello - but not enough to play it live or anything like that.
I've been recently playing on a mellotron, a Moog synthesizer and a theremin

Vocalist, almost standard baritone range for full voice. Not much of a high register kinda guy, tho i'm practicing my falsetto. Think Skynyrd and that's pretty much my preferred range. Better growler, mostly going for a goblin-esque rasp a la black metal. Main inspirations Jon Nodtveit and Mille Petrozza. Decent low-range if not too fast.

Instrumentation-wise I play the bodhran.

Plus, I'm a pretty great singer, I have a four to five octave vocal range, an ability to imitate just about anyone, and the ability to perform Death Growls and mid-range screams. I can't do those high Black Metal screams, however.


I can do mid-high growly black metal a la Agalloch & early Ulver, death growls, low deathy vocal fry, a Pixies-esque yelp, vocal fry screaming and high-pitched hardcore shrieking a la Orchid or The Locust. I can also do crazy high whistle register singing, kinda ragged mid-range tenory stuff and baritone stuff somewhere between goth rock and Johnny Cash, as well as rapping and beatboxing, all to varying degrees of proficiency. I can confirm this on video if you'd like.

I play the piano/keyboard, primarily, but I recently took up ukulele. My ukulele is a concert type. I also like to write lyrics (currently trying to give them a tune using my keyboard and uke). I mainly try to shoot for a pop or synth sound when trying to do this.

Some of my favorite bands/singers are Adam Young (He has a lot of projects that I like, the list is too long, but Owl City and Sky Sailing are my favorite projects by him), NeverShoutNever, Cady Groves, All Time Low, Bright Eyes, My Chemical Romance, and Cute Is What We Aim For. As you can see, I'm mainly into pop genres like Synth, Power, Indie, and Pop Punk, along with a little folk. But I've also recently started taking to genres like Rap and Metalcore, for example: Lupe Fiasco, Black Veil Brides, and Asking Alexandria. There are other bands I'm into, more than these last 3, but the first 7 I mentioned are the main ones that I like.

Also, a good friend of mine is in a rock/blues(?) band called Outside City Limits.
