What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? I’ve always loved music since I was kid. I grew up singing in a choir in the second and third grade but never learned how to play the guitar till my early 20’s. My first introduction into the spirit of music that I now embody was when I was 8 years old, walking down the stairs into my grandmother’s dark creepy basement. After I pulled the chain to turn on a ceiling light, I turned around and a picture of this man hanging on the wall scared the hell out of me. I shut off the light and ran right back up the stairs. I’m not sure what scared me about the picture but it just looked paranormal and sorceress. Years later when I was about 15 years old, I heard the most beautiful song on the radio called “Little Wing”. This song instantly dug its claws into my soul and right there and then I knew I wanted to play the guitar. Having never heard of this song or the performer before, I looked the performer up. Lo and behold, the singer of this song and the picture that scared me in my grandmother’s creepy basement was Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix had put a spell on me. That was the initial musical seed that was planted inside of me.
