Influences and Teachers

I am basically a shorter version of Krist Novoselic in terms of playing, image and tone. He is my no.1 influence, but I have also been greatly influenced by Flea, Mike Starr, Cliff Burton, Steve Harris, Mike Dirnt, Ben Shepherd and Joe Dart

I was taught by a fella named Chris and before I left that school I was taught by another guy named Adam. I'm now learning as I go.

Hobbies and Interests

6-string guitar, songwriting, avoiding hair cuts
