I'm asthmatic and ventolin is a popular asthma medication. I also use music to vent my feelings through poetry and beats.

I used to play live with jam bands (I played congas).

The internet makes the music industry more widely accessible.

I would sign a record contract if, and ONLY if, I can control everything about my music (integrity, content, etc.). Otherwise, hell no! My music means too much too me and is too personal to give someone else the rights to it.

1998: Started an electronic band by the name of 'Bits' with Jim Engelmann one faithful night at a bar. We did one album together, never really sold it, and went our separate ways because college had us bogged down (we were both going to Kent State at the time).

1999: Learned to play congas and formed a new band with my friends that I lived with that went by the name of 'Speedy Delivery'. The band was a live jam band with a Blues Rock vibe. We never recorded any CDs, but we played out quite a lot and got a small following. A person became too controlling in the band and I decided it wasn't worth losing friends over a band so I left.

2001: The rythym guitarist of 'Speedy Delivery' (Jona Burton) invited me into a new project he had going which became named 'Goodbye Garden'. Another jam band but this time more psychedelic. I played congas and I also started to dabble with using turntables, which was quite interesting to hear over the style of music we were playing. I ended up leaving because I didn't want to lose any of them as friends and I really began yearning to make electronic music again.

2002: Began making electronic music again, all the while trying to get as many people I could into the music with me so that they could experience it. Ended up forming a project band with two of my friends named 'Project Mayhem' which has turned into an interesting conglomeration of musical styles. I still work with them today.

My influences include: DJ Shadow, God Lives Underwater, Tricky, Morcheeba, Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox, Chemical Brothers, DJ Krush, Portishead, Radiohead, Vast, etc.
