It was a trip from Los Angeles to Buenos Aires at the age of nine when my musical journey began. One day, when I was a boy in Argentina, a song playing on the radio made me stop in my tracks as though I was hypnotized. "Words like violence, break the silence... Come crashing in, into my little world." - Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode.
One Christmas after returning home to the states, Mother got me my first keyboard! The compositions began little by little, followed by some poetry which didn't really make you smile. Even though I sang in the eighth-grade choir, it wasn't until age 21 that I discovered my singing voice. The songs began to compose themselves in my head and I knew I needed a multi-tracker. Every time I would let someone hear one of my songs, they would always say the same thing... "Dude, that's dark."
