Basics
Name: Matthew Hicks The Artist
I am developing, with a partner, an innovative music based website which has provided me with additional practical experience in advertising, marketing, graphic design and photography.
Education
I graduated from California State University of Fullerton with a degree in Communications with an emphasis in Advertising and a minor in Art with an emphasis in Photography. Also Dabbled in Comparative Religion, Photo Communications, and Journalism. I want to eventually go back to school for my masters in Business. Even law school is starting to look interesting at this point in my life. We shall see...
College: Cal State University Fullerton High School: Ayala Junior High: Canyon Hills Elementry (5th-6th): Rolling Ridge Elementry (k-4th): Decker Music
Some of my favorite bands include Radiohead, Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, R.E.M., Deftones, just to name a few.
Guitar Gods... Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, John Frusciante, and Tom Morello have probably influenced me the most guitar wise. Chuck Berry definitely influenced me when I was younger. Now that I am older, I look up to Tom Morellow and John Frusciante. To me they are the "guitar gods". Crap Music... Pop Punk, Boy Bands, and Christian Rock/Rap I don't even consider music. I don't like Ska or trance or any of that. I stick to my rock cause that's what I like. I'm not big into where rock is going but that's ok. Guitars... I have played the guitar for 12 years now. I originally wanted to play the drums but since my sister thought that the drums would annoy her, she convinced me to buy a guitar instead. I am pretty much self taught. I have never had formal lessons. I do not read music either. I would like to learn how to one day. I love playing guitar though and hope to become very good at it during my life. ...back |
