So, I’m James, lead guitarist and vocalist for the band. yeah. That pretty much summarizes my role in the band! The frontman role is shared between me and Rifat.
Most important thing you guys should know is that I’m a Christian. And I’m proud of it! Which is why my musical influences come from all styles. Majority of course coming from praise & worship music. I play both acoustic and electric guitar, piano, bass and drums. heh. I thought it would be interesting to learn all of it. So yeah i started doing so. ive had no guitar lessons at all so far. Been learning on my own and reading books, watching videos and what not.
I’m a bookworm. Love the twilight series by Stephenie Meyer!
I love apple! Everything apple simply rocks my socks off. and blows my mind. Ive almost forgotten all the stuff ive learnt on windows. Ok, i confess, im a tech geek too. Currently using a Macbook.
Musical Influences:
John Mayer, Audio Adrenaline, Paramore, Lifehouse, Boys Like Girls, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Nickelback, Planetshakers, Hillsong United, Hillsong, Hillsong London, New Life church, Youth Alive WA, Delirious?, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Paul Baloche, Coldplay, Oasis, Lincoln Brewster, Relient K, Jimi Hendrix, SRV, Buddy Guy, BB King, Salvador, Sonic Edge Band, Santana, Eric Clapton, Daniel Lim, Eric Johnson and MANY MANY MANY more. yeah!!
