  • “Despite my last name being ‘Singer,’ I’ve always had a fascination with the guitar since I was 10 years old and was exposed to legendary rock icons such as Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath! While I teach and adore all styles of guitar music including blues, jazz, flamenco, and classical music, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for rock and heavy metal genres. This passion of mine can be soon throughout my career as guitarist but also as a rock music journalist for Forbes.com, where I routinely write about the contemporary rock scene and interview some of the biggest bands and icons in the genre.”
