Kamil Rzeznik - Lead Guitarist

Age: 23

Influences: Skid Row, Guns n' Roses, Avenged Sevenfold, Black Sabbath, Queen

Growing up in Toronto, Kamil Rzeznik attended a school where he was constantly being exposed to the creative influences of music and art. Having friends who all ascribed to the Grunge sub-culture, his music was always evolving. Home created a similar environment as his parents were always out attending concerts, wearing leather jackets and blasting classic rock. It was obvious that Kamil was in love with Rock n' Roll. All of these inspirations pushed Kamil to take this musical vision and make it more than a dream, a career. Music started becoming the young boy's homework, loving bands such as G n' R. Skid Row, Black Sabbath, Queen and Joe Satriani. After spending every last penny on albums, the void was still there. Music was in Kamil's blood. Picking up the guitar, Kamil would lock himself in a room all night dedicated to honing his skills, recreating every guitar solo on the albums he had purchased and writing his own riffs. He would go so far as to put his practice before anything else.

By the age of 15, Kamil's music teachers were so impressed by his playing ability that he was asked to play large festivals and graduation ceremonies at concert halls. Kamil demonstrated his skills by paying tribute to his guitar heros - Carlos Santana, Joe Satriani, Slash, etc. Kamil's outstanding ability to wail on the guitar attracted many offers from various local bands. Kamil has played with a number of bands including 88, Ejune, and Fancy Girls Market. Ejune was a serious project that taught Kamil the ins and outs of the industry where he recorded an album for a publishing deal.

In late 2006, Brandon Ross remembered Rzeznik's guitar playing from 88 and asked him to come out to auditions. Kamil's guitar solos won over the other members. Kamil's guitar playing style has developed significantly focusing on smooth tasteful solos and a clean powerful rhythym. Kamil's passion for writing makes him a creative force in the AMFTC team.
