What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? For the entirety of my childhood, I found solace in imagination. Friends were uncommon and fleeting. I moved very often and found that the heroes I read of in comic books were truer, more constant companions. Quite quickly, and unconsciously, I was enchanted by the notion that one can adopt a disguise – an identity – and transcend the dreadfully ordinary lot so many of us are dealt. With a mask, a costume, a new name, these characters gained superhuman abilities! And frequently, they used them to the betterment of their fellow man. That was an example which struck me early as a child.
