  • Heroes


    Otep Shamaya - YOU ARE A WOMAN OF GREAT MIND AND SOUL! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INSPIRATION!


    Maria Brink of In This Moment - ALL THE TEARS I'VE CRIED... ALL THE INSPIRATION YOU GAVE ME... YOUR VOCALS HELPED ME PULL THROUGH - YOU HELPED ME THRU IT ALL! AND YOU NEVER LET ME FALL! AND YOU LET ME FLY AWAY! AND YOU ALWAYS BELIEVED IN ME! - THANK YOU!


    Hatebreed - DAMN. WHAT COULD I SAY ABOUT YOU GUYS? THERE'S JUST ..TOO.. ..MUCH..! ALL OF YOUR SONGS INSPIRE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME. IT MAKES ME REALISE THAT I TOO CAN "PERSEVERE IN THE NAME OF DEFEAT!" I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO IF I NEVER FOUND YOUR MUSIC. THANK YOU!


    Arch Enemy - ANGELA, YOU MADE ME REALISE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF MY VOICE. YOUR LYRICS HELPED ME THROUGH SOME OF THE DARKEST POINTS OF MY LIFE. THE VICIOUS GUITAR AND BASS RIFFS BECAME MY HEARTBEAT AND THEY MADE ME THROW MY SOUL TO THE HEAVENS! THANK YOU!


    Within Temptation - YOU TAUGHT ME WHAT IT WAS TO "STAND MY GROUND." FINDING YOU ON MYSPACE WAS THE GREATEST BLESSING! YOU ALSO GOT MY FRIEND INTO SYMPHONIC/GOTHIC METAL! SEEING YOU IN CONCERT IN SEPT. 2007 SHOWED ME WHAT TRUE EMOTION WAS, BREAKING INTO TEARS DURING "STAND MY GROUND," "DECEIVER OF FOOLS," AND "HAND OF SORROW;" AND NEARLY GIVING MYSELF WHIPLASH HEADBANGING TO "OUR SOLEMN HOUR." YOU MAKE MY INNER FIRE BURN FOREVER TO ETERNITY! THANK YOU!


    Epica - YOUR SONGS ALWAYS SEEMED TO POP UP AT THE RIGHT TIME. IT WAS LIKE A SIGN. YOU'VE HELPED ME THROUGH SO MUCH, AND THANKS TO YOU, THE DRAGON HAS BEEN SLAIN! THANK YOU!


    Lacuna Coil - THERE'S SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS BRILLIANT BAND! IF NOT FOR LC, I MIGHT NOT EVEN BE INTO GOTH METAL/SYMPHONIC ROCK/ WHATEVERTHEFUCKYOUWANNACALLIT. IT ALL STARTED WITH "UNLEASHED MEMORIES" IN 2003. I HAVE A CO-WORKER TO THANK FOR THAT. THEN MEETING YOU AT BORDER'S IN 2006. YOU HAVE BECOME FAMILY TO ME, AND I RESPECT AND LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY. THE SPIRAL BURNS DEEP WITHIN, "SENZAFINE" - WITHOUT END.

    MY FALLEN HEROES - FALLEN BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN:






    DIMEBAG DARRELL - I STILL REMEMBER HEARING THE NEWS OF YOUR UNFORTUNATE DEATH. YOUR WORK INSPIRED ME SO MUCH, FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT "CFH" FOR $2 FROM MY BROTHER. YOU WILL FOREVER BE MISSED, AND YOUR SPIRIT AND DRIVE WILL CARRY ON THROUGH MY MUSIC. DIMEBAG LIVES FOREVER!




    CLIFF BURTON - YOUR BASS PLAYING WAS LEGEND. YOUR SOUL CARRIED ON THROUGH METALLICA. BUT THAT FATAL BUS CRASH ENDED YOUR LIFE TWENTY YEARS AGO. NEVER WILL I COMPARE THE BASS SOLO FROM "ANESTHESIA - PULLING TEETH" TO ANYTHING. THAT SOLO SET YOU APART FROM EVERY OTHER BASSIST ON THE PLANET. AND NOW IT'S MY TURN TO TAKE ON YOUR LEGACY.

    THERE ARE SO MANY MORE HEROES I COULD LIST, BUT IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER. THOSE WHO HELPED ME THROUGH MY STRUGGLES, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I OWE MY LIFE TO YOU. WITHOUT YOU AND THE MUSIC, IT COULD HAVE BEEN SUICIDE. I CAN FINALLY REACH THE END OF THE TUNNEL AND STEP INTO THE LIGHT!

"DETERMINATION IS PUSHING ME
AND PERSEVERANCE IS WHAT I BLEED"
~In This Moment "Prayers"



..

There's so much to say about me that there's no way in hell I can write it all here, but when it really comes down to it, there's only one thing on this planet that keeps me alive and breathing, ..music...

I've met a lot of despicable people on the rollercoaster ride that has been my life. I do not tolerate ignorance, arrogance, egos or anything of that nature. You are not better than me. You will never be better than me. And you DEFINITELY can't change me. If you're going to step into my life to use me, abuse me or just "pretend" to be real, PLEASE do yourself a favor and get the FUCK away from me.

And though I'm still struggling to complete my musical quest, it's never too late to make an impact. I walk with two weapons - my microphone (Shure Beta 58A) and my DJ set up (2x Technics 1200 MK2, Pioneer DJM 500, 2x Shure White Label Cartridges, 350W system). These two elements run my life. I am equally passionate about both, though I sometimes tend to pick one over the other.

I am one of the most motivated people you will ever meet. When it comes to music, it burns through me like fire. I have a very intense personality, and some can't handle it. I'm an Aquarius. Deal with it or get the fuck out of my life. It keeps me going. It allows me to persevere. I would also like to point out that I am very twisted, macabre and morbid on many occasions.

I am very passionate about body art (tattoos/piercings) and I do have plans to cover my body in ink. I have three currently (all of which can be found in my Ink'd - Body Art album. I'm planning on about 15 more (and the count keeps increasing).

To those looking for a vocalist, I am MORE than down to sing for you. I'm a bit lacking in the experience department, but am down for just about anything. I am currently working on perfecting my (black/death metal) scream and growl, but have a very healthy singing range (that seems to be increasing almost daily :D). I'm currently using Brett Manning's Singing Success and Melissa Cross' The Zen of Screaming. My influences include Dimmu Borgir, Otep, In This Moment, Cradle of Filth, Arch Enemy, Metallica, Pantera, Winds of Plague, Slayer, Lamb of God, Incubus, Epica, Within Temptation, Josh Groban, and many more.

I've been mixing drum 'n bass since 2003, but haven't played out as much as I would like to. I specialise primarily in D&B from 1996-2001. I love darkside and techstep. Those are like my babies. I'm starting to get into more current stuff, but seriously... All this wobble and tear-out needs to stop. Whatever happened to the musicality of drum 'n bass? (And for those who don't know what I'm talking about, PLEASE go check out Adam F - Colours, Goldie - Timeless, Platinum Breakz, Boymerang - Balance of Force, Techsteppin', Photek - Modus Operandi, etc.). You can find my upcoming gigs listed in my blog or on my music page.



And as one to never want to stop learning a new musical skill, my next weapon of choice comes in the form of a bass guitar. This is a natural progression for me, as the bassline is always what kicks the shit out of me (besides the vocal) in ANY track ANYWHERE. I've got my first axe picked, and as soon as I've got the money, this baby will be MINE - the Traben 5-String Electric Bass
