Q. When did you start playing guitar?

A. I started playing guitar when I was a freshman.

Q. What bands have you been in?

A. When I was a freshman I was in a band called Crawfish And Leaf and when I was a sophomore I was in a band called My only Remedy.  I consider being in both of these bands to be a good experience.

Q. What did you do in these bands, sing, play guitar, or both?

A. I played guitar in both bands and also some vocals in MOR.

Q. Why do you choose to play solo rather than with a band?

A. I used to write songs every once and a while and I really enjoyed it.  I had a lot of free time on my hands and a lot of ideas, so I decided I should try and take song writing seriously.

Q. What do you enjoy most about creating music?

A. When I write and play songs it makes me forget about everything that’s going on.

Q. How often do you play shows?

A. Usually I play 1 or 2 shows a month.  I try to play as often as the opportunity is presented.

Q. How do you promote your music?

A. I mostly promote it on-line, and by word of mouth

Q. Do you plan on pursuing music after high school?

A. I don’t plan on stopping playing guitar.  I’m just going to let fate run its course and see what happens.   I’m not going to try and be a rock star or anything.

Q. What are your hopes for the future?

A. Stay alive.
