I formed my band which I named SKEPTIMISTIC (Half Skeptic/half Optimistic in 2011. I'm the front man/singer/guitarist and I compose and produce all of my original compositions in mixed musical genres ranging from Hip Hop, elements of Jazz, neo soul, Latin and rock. My songs are about personal experiences and find that if given a platform to perform for the pubic the lyric and message should be strong. Since 2011 SKEPTIMISTIC continues to perform in clubs and festivals. We are a 7 piece band Drums, Bass, Piano/keyboards, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion and trumpet.
