Ixion: Where are you from, and what was the scene there like?
Lennon: Hendersonville. What scene?!
Ixion: How did you get signed?
Lennon: I had done a development deal with RCA for 3 songs. RCA released me and basically we just started shopping around the demos for Brake and Couldn�t Breathe. Ken Krongard (my original a&r guy at Arista) knew of me, heard them demos, and it basically began from there.
