Here's To Thinking

I love me some Kaiju films, extremely difficult video games, chiptunes, Mark Knopfler, running and running. 

You should totally check out people I follow, EKSF, DYA, Lloyd Foster and Big Syn to name a few. 

About Me:
Born in California,
My first memory of playing music was when I began to play on a little Children's reed organ my mother had from when she was a child.  The first song I taught myself was the "Jigglypuff Song" from Pokemon.

Shortly after seeing my interest, my parents roped me into piano lessons alongside my sister Susie. I must have been about 12 or 13. We had lessons for about a year and a half from a nice lady, Ms. Henderson In Yreka, Ca. I do not remember her first name.

After lessons were done I stopped playing because I had no motivation. Later on in high school my father would purchase a piano and along with it a little digital loop pedal.  There I would mix my first terrible song for my girlfriend at the time. It was awful... 

I continued to push my musical abilities but it wasn't until playing guitar hero that I fell in love with the guitar. I fell hard, I started to play whenever I could and went on to make an abomination of an album titled "Bad Handwriting" that was named after my terrible handwriting.

It was awful, you have no idea. 

It was only after a series of unfortunate events that I realized I had been wasting valuable time and decided I would lock myself in a room and in essence, wouldn't allow myself to do anything until I finished the songs I felt strongest about.

Now I'm doing everything in my power to become a successful musician but not at any cost. I wanna do it a way I can feel proud about, alongside other great musicians. Soundcloud has proven to me that there is great indie music available at our fingertips.
