Tuning up with this platform

Hi everyone!

My name's Laurent. I exist, I'm a 17 years old Canadian musician. I see myself as an artist but also as an optimist, honest and open-minded person. I'm versatil in pretty much all the things I do, I learn by myself very fast. I play guitar, bass, piano, synth and drums. When I'm not on an instrument I'm constantly searching for something cool to learn. I love when someone else take the time to show me what he learned from his own experiences. Feel free to give me some tips on how it works around here, I'd very happy!

My main language is french, soooo please don't bully if few mistakes are made. 

I do my best!

PASSIONS & HOBBIES

Music became my main passion and occupation by far. Playing at least 3 hours per day, sometimes more. I try to introduce at least 1 hour to practice (Yeah, because there's a difference between playing and practicing something). I've been into many different music styles : Classic, jazz, latin, funk, R&B, Blues, Rock, space rock, Metal, Deathcore, Blackmetal, ''super-scandanivian-progressive-grindcore''. I have a huge range on what styles of music I love, play and listen to. I used to draw a lot when I was younger, now drawing became more likely a hobby in my free time but I still make some artworks, tattoos, logos design, etc.

 I tattooed myself with needles on both ankles, a moon and a sun.
