The original inspiration for the name came in 06 when I was a sophomore in high school. I'm an enormous Colorado Rockies fan and at the time, Matt Holliday was the biggest rising star on the team (though the team itself was in a terrible stretch). So, my name originated from "Matt Holliday's Reign (over the National League)." That phrase eventually shortened to Holliday's Reign, then Hollidayrain. One year later, Matt finished 2nd in the MVP voting and led the Rox to the World Series....NOT A COINCIDENCE! However, the name has much more significance than that (which is why I use it even though he was traded away in Fall 2008). My first ever composition when I was 10 years old used a general midi synth called 'rain' as its lead instrument, and years later, I made a song that I considered to be my signature song at the time called 'Raintrance.' Additionally, the first line of Holiday by Green Day, which was my favorite song as a sophomore in high school, just so happens to be: "Hear the sound of the falling rain!" Furthermore, it occurred to me that snow is 'holiday rain' in Colorado.

So basically, it was a match made in heaven.

I love music.
