DALLAS YANEZ: Keyboards
I'm just a regular down to earth guy that likes to jam and have fun playing music. I'm also an animal rescue volunteer for Tree House Humane Society and Touch By An Animal and I help out on their fundraiser events. My choice of instrument is the keyboard. I have been playing keyboard since high school and who ever thought taking that one music class would add a piece to my personality. My influences are from listening to all types of genres, especially to dance and house music. Thanks to Bad Boy Bill, Too Cool Kris and Julian Jumpin Perez. So when I'm jamming with the band, I bring my own flavor dance-like or groove tunes to the music. The only thing important when playing, is to have fun.
