During my humble beginnings at Drake High School, I created a lot of music in my Music Tech class, as well as a lot with various bands. Here is a taste...
Why this name?
Well it all started when my parents were naming me. I guess I just stuck with what they gave me... Only abreviated...
Do you play live?
I play... sometimes... Whenever I am offered to. Schools, plays, other random places with other bands. The Oasis Teen Center was fun. Exposure in the city was fun even though it kinda sucked.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Mp3s are a great thing. IM happy that Apple is finally taking advantage of this easy technology. Its the way of the future.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes.
Band History:
Well... First there was White Hill, then Drake, then SGO, then randomness.........
Your influences?
Less Than Jake, Gold Finger, Reel Big Fish are big ones right now. Ethnic music is also becoming an influence.
Favorite spot?
Fairfax, CA.
Equipment used:
I got my Yamaha Pro Tenor Sax, Dell Dimension, Apple G5, M-BOX, Pro-tools, Reason, and good elo Cakewalk.
