Fall Through Iris

About Fall Through Iris

(Bio)
I've been writing to deal with pain since I was about 16 or so. It has always been kind of like a crutch for me. I can vent and express myself through it. I fell into some dark times for a while. I was using drugs and alcohol to self-medicate. What I really needed was a doctor tbh.

At the age of 21, I was involved in an auto accident that almost ended my life. A drunk driver t-boned me. I was airlifted and in a coma for a while. I was put on disability for my injuries. I had to relearn a lot of things over again including guitar due to my closed head injury.

I dealt with the pain through alcohol and drugs once again. Which made it all worse. Then in 2015 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis... So, I had been fighting MS for years on top addiction and everything else. I met my wife, she helped me get sober and get my life back on track.

I had my solo band "Fall Through Iris" that I started prior to 2005 and I wrote "Carrion" in 2006. I had my brother Greg Sinkel work on the track with me. I was then contacted by Phil Taylor on myspace and he asked if I would like to colab. Phil Taylor is from of the band "Machina" and "Future Leaders of The World" a post-grunge band, it features the song "Let Me Out" which received extensive airplay and launched Future Leaders of the World into the mainstream!

A cool story... One-day my old friend gets home from work. He's like dude you have to hear this new song on the rock channel. So, He played "Let me out" and said man It just made me think of you. We played the sh*t out of that song and I still do... Just weird years later I'd have the opportunity to Collab with Taylor. I am truly blessed. Eventually "Fall Through Iris" added William "Rocky" Gray and John LeCompt formerly of Evanescence to the single "Carrion". Phil Taylor and I later release "Lt's song" a song written to my son. Greg Sinkel started writing "All Time Low" and then collaborated with Phil and I on the track.

More to come! No matter what life throws at you. Don't stop following your visions. Learn to love in the end that's all that matters...
