DANN ROSINGANA
-LEAD GUITARS-
BIOGRAPHY
I first started playing Piano when I was about 6 and started Guitar when I was 10. My dad and my uncles played in bands so it made it a bit easier to get started. My favourite players at the start were Ritchie Blackmore, Alex Lifeson and Jake E Lee. Then later George Lynch, Vinnie Moore, Yngwie Malmsteen, Neal Schon, Steve Lukather and John Petrucci. There are many others but they’re way too many to mention here.
