AS A CHILD HE USED TO SING ALONG ELVIS PRESLEY’S SONGS THAT HIS MOTHER LISTENED TO.
HE FIRST LEARNED TO PLAY THE SAXOPHONE AT THE AGE OF 9 BUT LEFT IT BEHIND A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER. THEN HE CHOSE THE DRUMS AND PLAYED IN SEVERAL HARDCORE AND POST-HARDCORE BANDS THE FOLLOWING 8 YEARS.

DURING THIS PERIOD HE BORROWED HIS BROTHER’S GUITAR AND LEARNED TO PLAY THE SONGS OF ALICE IN CHAINS’ JAR OF FLIES ALBUM. HOWEVER HE REALLY STARTED WRITTING SONGS IN 1999. YEARS AFTER YEARS, HAUNTED BY THE GHOSTS OF NICK DRAKE, JOHNNY CASH, TOWNES VAN ZANDT, ELLIOTT SMITH AND THE LIVING LEGENDS NEIL YOUNG, TOM WAITS, BJORK AND SONIC YOUTH, HE IMPROVED HIS WRITTING TO CREATE NOW HIS VERY OWN MATERIAL AND OFFER A VERY SPECIFIC WAY OF PLAYING LIVE.
