Guitar player and singer for the band Almost Backpack

Hungry on Monday is an alternative pop-rock group currently based in northern Virginia. 

Formed in 2015 as a side project among childhood friends, founding members Noah Poncin, Aidan Bruecken and Nathan Dahlman quickly realized that they had potential to become much more than a local garage band. As momentum began to pick up in October of 2016, the trio recruited long-time friend Michael Preston to play bass guitar. Not long after that they hit the studio. Their debut self-titled EP, recorded at M80 Recording Studio in their hometown of Purcellville, Virginia, received massive praise for its intricate blend of rock, jazz, pop, alternative, and funk.  After its release, the band started to play non-stop in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area. During the winter of 2016, they added pianist Ted Gallegos to the band as a surprise for several shows in their hometown. 

With the addition of Gallegos their sound was elevated to even greater heights and Gallegos became a permanent addition to the Hungry on Monday family. In may of 2017, the band set out to write and record their second project. With their own members Michael Preston, Noah Poncin, and Aidan Bruecken spearheading the production, they were determined to create a record that was truly unique. During this time, tragedy struck with the unexpected and sudden passing of their producer, mentor, and dear friend. Ever determined, the group spent countless days and nights writing and recording a heartfelt tribute to their friend and completing the EP, Hideaway, in his memory.

I had my first introduction to electronic music with the release of Odesza's album "In Return" in 2014. I was instantly obsessed, and since then I have always had a passion for edm. During my senior year of high school (2017-2018) Illenium's album "Awake" was released, and it completely changed my perspective of what electronic music could be. The vocals, production, and emotion of those tracks were unlike anything I had ever heard. That album got me through some very hard times, and I wanted to do the same for someone else through music. Towards the end of senior year I downloaded Ableton (a popular program for music production). I was incredibly overwhelmed. I had no prior musical knowledge or experience, and Ableton is extremely difficult to jump into. I learned quickly that it takes a tremendous amount of knowledge, creativity, and hard work to produce music. This was a discouraging revelation. Every few months I would sit down, produce a terrible track, close my laptop and move on thinking "this just isn't for me". Then around December of freshman year of college, a switch flipped in my mind. I decided that I was not going to stop until I learned music production. That was about six years ago, and I'm still working hard to produce music with emotion, something people can connect with. I truly believe that no heart makes dreams work and time can't match.

Doing this because I love it. Thanks for reading, and thanks for listening.
