Artist History Born Bill Jason Hendricks, on July 8th 1980. Born to two loving parents Bill and Gracie Hendricks. Since a child he has been immersed with a wide variety of different musical genres. Metal, Classical, and Flamenco were the main influences in his young ears. From years with being with his father who listened to early hard rock such as Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Cream. His mother gave him the influences of the Spanish culture. Flamenco and traditional spanish music were always being played. And his Grandparents who with the aid of his parents brough Classical music into the picture. Wanting the play the guitar since he was 7 never really had the discipline or the attentiveness for the instrument til he was the age of 15. "I've always wanted to play the guitar. When I turned 15 something inside its time to buy a guitar. Bought my first guitar and then I was blown away by a guitarist by the name of Joe Satriani. Astounded I wanted to play like that. Then came Steve Vai and of course Yngwie J. Malmsteen. I knew then what I was going to play on the guitar. I was going to be a fusion of my three main and biggest influences. Now everyday since then when I first heard the three masters of the guitar I have set my sights forward to become a proficient guitarist. Always being a perfectionist and trying to accomplish my goals. Now I have written two CD's that I bring to you. One is a Rock EP and the other is my Classical Concerto that I have written in the past 6 months. The Rock EP will be available first. With the Concerto following shortly. I also had a dream when I was 8 years old. My elementary school took my class to see the local symphony all the time. Intrigued by the explosivness of the orchestra I was enamored with the notion of being able to have the Guitar with the orchestra. My obession with the guitar and symphony has always been with me but never materialized til this year. After Yngwie Malmsteen wrote and performed his Classical piece. I was inspired to do the same for myself. Having the previous thought that my idea would not work was only boosted by his composition and performance. Hopefully with GOD's help I will get to perform my classical concerto with a symphony and that to me would be a GOAL achieved and I would owe it all to the Glory of God.. Also check out JASON'S!
