The Lead Singer
Hey everyone, I'm singer/songwriter for Suspended. First off
I'd like to say thanks to all of our great fans, who are very supportive.
They help my dreams with the band come true.
Singing for Suspended has really helped me realize that it's
not only the tune and rythym of a song, but the lyrics that make it as well. So
most of the songs I write are about things that have happened to me, or
situations people find themselves in everyday. My goal for the music I
write is to have the lyrics draw the people to the music, in ways which
they can relate to everyday.
As far as vocals go, I'd say I've came a far ways, but then I'd
also say I have a whole lot farther to go. I take vocal coaching sessions
2 to 3 times a month, which is good, because before I took vocal
coaching, it was really hard to keep my voice in shape for concerts. I'd
really like to thank my vocal coach, who has really helped bring out the
lyrics, through the music I sing in a more effective way. Singing in a
band,(especially rock music), takes a lot of time and commitment, pushing
yourself everyday to sing vocal excercise patterns, and at least a half
hour of singing everyday, on top of working on vocal techniques. My main
influences for singing come from Scott Stapp and James Hetfield,
although I try to produce my own vocals.
Apart from the band, I really like sports, especially
weightlifting. I work about 20 hours a week at an orchard, that's we're I
come up with lot of my song ideas, while doing a lot of mundane shit.
Well that's all for now, and to all of our great fans, keep
rocking, you are the best.
