Welcome to Xander Snyder's Artist Site sponsored by Inspire Guitars.   Xander is a composer and guitar virtuoso currently playing in Collusion, a band he founded in California. 

Xander started playing piano at age 6, quit at 10 and picked up the guitar at age 12.  After playing in a few bands he picked up Classical Guitar at 17 and piano again at 19.   He started composing classical pieces at 18 and is currently attending Cornell University.  Xander plans to get a master and doctorate in composition. 

Listening to the power metal music of Collusion you can definitely hear Xander's classical skills within his progressive metal sound.  Shredding through solos and developing epic metal masterpieces makes it seem like your listening to a maestro at work.
