ARNO WEST BIOGRAPHY
With more than 22 years, 5000 live performances and countless album and demo projects under his belt, they do not come better equipped than Arno. A multi-instrumentalist that plays guitar, bass and drums, Arno has enough experience to adapt to any style of music. He will make your ideas and songs come to life in a way you never thought possible.

Apart from working at 2 recording studios, Arno plays with 3 different bands (Alter-Irving Band, Leon Shaw Syndicate and The Diamond Dogs) as well. He must be one of the busiest musicians in the country, playing on average 4-5 gigs a week with the different bands.
If your project or songs need any additional musicians, he has access to some of the top keyboard players, drummers and vocalists in the country (at an extra charge of course....)

I like your attitude! Especially due to the fact that it sounds like you've actually given it a go in the real world of live music. I much prefer hiding out in my isolation tank of recorded music where its safe and "sound". PS- Your songs sound great!

I don't have the luxury of the gear you have nor even 1/12 the talent. I also don't want a fake return vote/comment. I like your write up and tunes and agree with the music industry. It's easy to be kind here to folks but I gave u a 5 becuz u are real.
