The Start
I grew up playing in kid bands with my brother Lynx. We started off playing vinyl covers, with me on vocal/guitar and Lynx on bass/drums. In total I was in 5 bands throughout my youth, ranging from classic rock to alternative punk.
My Music
I journal in music. I wake up each morning usually with a new song in my head, inspired by whatever life event I'm experiencing. I've been recording these thoughts and feelings for many years now, which is cool because I have somewhat of a complete emotional seismograph of the last couple years.
