Been playing bass since about 2002, guitar since about 2006, keyboards occasionally since childhood but more seriously since about 2020.
I mostly play by myself, just covering popular music for my own enjoyment, though recently I've been playing with others. I aspire to create my own music someday, though I really struggle with the creative aspect of it and haven't been able to come up with anything yet.
