I started really getting into music when I turned 13 years old. There was a moment in time where a neighbor of mine wanted to play vs in guitar hero 2. Prior to that event, I had never picked up a guitar (real of fake) ever in my life. After getting demolished and feeling very embarrassed from the entire ordeal, I made it a personal mission of mine to get better at guitar hero. Once I honed in on my skills and surpassed him in guitar hero, I really believed the next stepping stone in my life should be learning to play a real guitar. Now years later I have finally been able to make music based on some of my biggest influences that started the metal scene. Some of those influences consist of bands such as Killswitch engage, All That Remains, Coheed and Cambria, As I Lay Dying, A Skylit Drive, Thy Art Is Murder, and so many more. My goal is to one day get my music out to the masses and put myself in a position where I may one day be able to help others spread their talents as well.
