Kyle I'm twenty five years old and music is my life. I have been playing lead guitar since the age of seven.My favorite guitar player has to be the great Mark Tremonti. Some of my other influences include: Sevendust, Dark New Day, Senses Fail, Skrape, Breaking Benjamin, etc. I've been in several bands but currently I'm working on my own material under the title, "Stimulus" which can be heard at: http://www.myspace.com/angerinstrangers. I also have a music related blog at: http://stimulusmusic.blogspot.com/
Outside of music, I'm also active in drawing, weight lifting, and working/attending classes at Indiana University. I'm currently pursuing a degree in Business Management while trying to promote my musical endeavors. My career goal is to have a job related to the business side of the music industry.
Keep up the good work!
