Music ruined my life and turned me into a musician.

Now every song I write is an act of revenge.

I wanted to play drums, so my Dad buys a piano.  I didn't like it but looking back it was good.  Learned guitar at 20.  Got to the drums by 25.  My family is very musical and somewhat goofy so it all just sort of fits in place.  Mixing a song is as much work as writing and playing one.  A good song is like a good recipe, it's all flavor and balance.
