About Me
- Mike Leslie
- El Cajon, California, United States
- I always wanted to play the guitar since hearing Van Halen blaring on my neighbors radio. What fully hooked me on rock music was hearing Def Leppard in 83'. I began learning the guitar my freshman year in HS on an acoustic guitar a friend gave me. I later got a electric guitar and amp. Upon graduating HS I formed my first band. 93' began college at Green River CC. I joined the Music Company and took theory and ear training classes; playing all over the Pac. NW, Hawaii, and the WA state fair. After my second year I joined Luna's Web. Because of the vocalist, we were able to set up a showcase with a label in LA. It never came to pass. Our bassist quit followed by the drummer. I played with several bands, was a roady for some of the local bands, then I joined Jordans Crossing. We recorded a 3 song demo for a potential gig. Soon after I left the group. In 99' I also played with the church bands. In 01' moved to the Portland area, starting at Portland CC in the professional music pro-gram. After two years, I went to PSU in the jazz program, but saw my heart was not in it. Now I work on my own material and try to improve on the guitar.
