James Pickett

Bass

DATE OF BIRTH: 22.06.1986

HEIGHT: 6’5″

WEIGHT: 250 lbs

YEAR STARTED PLAYING: I started March 23rd, 2002, the day that changed my life. Bought a killer Fender P-Bass pack for $250 at GC.  Bought an Ibanez Iceman (a la Paul Stanley) later that week.  End of story. Backing vocals and high screams in CELLADOR since October 2012.
