Hey my name is Mercedes, I'm 16 years old. I’m a slave to my music and my guitar. I’ve been playing for about four or five years now. I’m that chick who will stay up all night long to write a song or to perfect that Metallica riff. I sing, play guitar, and the bass. I just recently started to learn the drums. Eventually, I hope to learn piano. Ironically, I started singing before I could even talk. I participated in musical theater almost my entire childhood and loved it; except for having to be super cheesy on stage. I wrote my first song when I was six or seven and have been writing ever since. I fell in love with the guitar after listening to metal for the first time, but my first guitar was an acoustic guitar so my singer-song-writer sound took off from there.
"Don’t be fooled by her apparent timidity - the microphone is Mercedes’ outlet. It was her voice and shocking enthusiasm that caused a caffeinated audience member to yell at a Kahili’s staff member to start charging cover. Needless to say, it was the first time we had seen so many heads nodding in unison at an Eastside coffee shop." ~Seattlest.com, September 22, 2007
In 50 years, don't you wanna look back and wish you had the guts to check us out and buy our new EP off itunes for only $4.95? I know you have an old gift card from your distant aunt or great uncle from two Christmases ago and they would love for you to spend it on us :) Talk to us and meet some nice guys if you're bored!

Hello back my fellow metal friend! I'm doing good. I was going to say, that's a rockin' new profile pic you have goin' there. Good gig? One of these days I will check out one of your shows. I promissssssssssssse!! One day. :P
Everything is good on this end. Working as usual. Psyched for the Megadeth/Slayer tour here in Western Canada at the end of June. I'm going to all the shows! :O Shall be a good time. Taking the kids with me and friends too haha. :D
Well, now Im making promotion to a song made by me and HassIkeD's singer. The song is called "Nocturnal" and is not metal at all, but I still wanted to upload it because I like it, and I do believe that not everything has to be loud to be worth.
Hope you'll give it a shot, and if you do, a critic would be nice :)
This will be my last show in Seattle before moving out east for awhile. Hope to see you there!! Also check the bare bones version a new song I have posted on my page “Come On”!
hi! iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape. we should learn to be the best persons we can be and our world will change. i try. but it's not as easy as playing guitar in a high class band...
H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd september 2009! - buy or let die!)
Our Record Label is about to forgo business, and is trying to get rid of its stock before it does, so both our albums are now just £0.01 +postage, basically free from http://d67.bigcartel.com
