Born May 23, 1983, in Fresno, Ca, I began performing music at age 10. Through the next 8 years I would learn to play the Trumpet, French Horn, Percussion, Corps. Percussion, Mallet Percussion, Keyboards, Drum Set, Guitar, Bass Guitar, and Native Flute. Though I do have plenty of concert experience, I prefer the rush and vibe of the rock stage. Shining faces and staring lights as the anticipation builds to that climactic first note release.
I didn't begin writing my own music until I was around 19 years old. I had always played around with scales to create my own "remixes" of favorite songs, but it wasn't ever taken seriously beyond that. I guess it wasn't until I was able to actually reflect upon the life I'd led so far, that I was able to put it into art. Crafting a song, to me, is no more than telling a story. A tall tale, at times, or, the occassional sympathy plea. Another road walked down. My music is life.
I hang around with a good crowd. Diversity among friends has always been a priority of mine. Since I was young I've always been in a melting pot of "circles". I mainly hang out around stoners. That doesn't always mean that said person would be a stoner also, but, this time it does. I don't do it a lot. Just recreationally. I've found, that the stoner crowd caters much more to my diverse personality than any other group. I've smoked with complete strangers whom I'd just met at the 3rd hole tee box. Smoked through the rest of the 16 holes. Complete strangers. There's a story for the kids.
