ABOUT

I’m a 29 year old vocalist with my style ranging from punk rock to hardcore/melodic.
My “clean” vocal style or singing voice is gritty, and I can also scream/yell in variety including a pitched vocal fry which I have been building up as a strong point.

I am looking to join/start a band writing any type of music that falls under the umbrella of melodic hardcore/punk. But I am also open to creep out of those genres for the right sound!

I am currently working full time but would happily quit my job to play shows and see where music can take me.

I am a very social person who loves making new friends and can fit into most environments with ease. I have played in local level bands for the past 9 years so I understand the needs and requirements of a working team.

Outside of music I enjoy learning about other cultures, writing/poetry, cooking and eating new food and camping/hiking.

I reside in Collingwood, Melbourne and have reliable transport and am willing to travel across Melbourne to jam.

My Instagram handle is @fatagraam if bandmix doesn’t let you contact me!
