Mad Painter is a group in the Boston area, deeply rooted in the rock tradition of the 1970s. What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? It goes back to my early childhood. Between the ages of 5 and 7 I heard some French chansonniers and fell in love with those songs instantly. In the Summer of 1980, I discovered ABBA, ELO and other bands that were popular at the time. My first rock'n'roll was "Get On" by the Hurriganes. Aged 11, I heard "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet and also my first Uriah Heep album. It was a mind-altering experience. I knew I wanted to get into music and perform when I grow up. If I weren't into music, I suppose I'd still be doing what I do today for a day job, which is data analysis.
