Like a lot of people that end up making music, I grew up around music. There was always a steady stream of music in our house. As I got older and developed my own musical identity, I started teaching myself how to play guitar. Also, I always liked reading about who wrote the songs and why. It felt so pure and organic that someone could write a song from nothing. As soon as I could play a few chords my first instinct was to attempt to write a song. They were all terrible, but it seemed more constructive to pursue that aspect of music. I just wanted to write. It was something I could do myself, and for someone that was introverted at times, it was a great outlet for my emotions. I can't imagine not playing music, actually. I was playing drum beats as a little kid and my teens were nothing but listening to music, playing in bands and trying to write songs. My adult years have been pretty much the same, and I figure it is something I never have to stop doing.
