Musician — Littleton, Colorado
Singer and amateur but steadily learning guitarist. In love with 60s/70s soul and funk, 60s/late 70s psychedelic and blues rock, 50s/60s vocal and instrumental jazz, 80s/90s hip-hop, outlaw country, all blues, all roots, all world music. Pretty much everything up to the late seventies. For modern music I like acts like King Gizzard, Anderson Paak., Danny Brown, Gary Clark Jr., Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, etc. My main goal is to be lead vocal and play guitar in a band, though right now I'm not going to be picky about anything. I'm a baritone and have been singing for 4-5 years. I can absolutely murder anything jazzy (Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Tormé, etc.). Although with enough practice I can murder most anything once it's in my key. I love to sing the blues, old soul and funk, and any rock a step below intense hard rock vocals (Zeppelin, ACDC, etc.) I also love singing any sort of acoustic music as well, outlaw country, folk like Van Morrison or Bob Dylan, etc. My ultimate goal in terms of the sound I want to reach is a mixture of funkier psychedelic rock and soul like Zappa, Hendrix, P-Funk, Sly and the Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield, The Isley Brothers, GIl-Scott Heron, Steely Dan, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, WAR, Jefferson Airplane, etc and mix it with more modern production (more hip-hop oriented drums, maybe rap verses occasionally thrown in, and other things). Or I'd love to be in a killer pop rock band like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers or Cheap Trick. Hit me up! I'd love to talk music, jam, make music, whatever! I'm just here to enjoy others and learn from other's musical perspectives. Check out my RYM: https://rateyourmusic.com/~Micco
