The name that I have chosen speaks of a dark time in my past when I really struggled with my self-doubt, my low self-esteem, and any other thing that made me feel bad because of who I turned out to be.
The thing is that helped me more than anything.
I am not egotistical, I don't think that I am better than anybody or any of that junk. If anything, the people that I have met have helped me to understand that I am where I am because God put me here.
It is my responsibility to bloom where I was planted.
Plus, I am in a clan (which is an extended family), they are a wonderful bunch of people, so I put the clan tag on the front of my name.

I don't play live anymore. I am no longer in a band that plays out.
I used to be in bands that did that. It was great while it lasted.

I think it is a lot easier to get your music out in front of more people these days.
Plus, it is easier for people to carry around your music and in a portable way.
Not to forget that it should be easier to work with other people nowadays too.

No. Besides, that would never be something that I would have to worry about.
I am not into doing cookie-cutter junk anyway.

Pink Floyd is my main influence. I like Rush, SRV, Hendrix, Pearl Jam, tool, A Perfect Circle, The Smashing Pumpkins, Robin Trower and a ton of others. Mostly older type music.
However, I do like some of the newer stuff too.
I am inspired by everything that I hear. Even the stuff that I do not like.
I get inspired by things that I see and/or feel.

At home.

I mostly use Fender Stratocaster guitars. I do own and use a Les Paul from time to time as well. I have a Fender "The Twin" amp, plus a Hiwatt DR504 50 watt tube head that feeds into a Marshall 2x12 cabinet.
I prefer Boss Pedals; however, I do have a Tube Screamer and a few non Boss guitar items such as an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff and a B. K. Butler Tube Driver. I feed these through my Boss GT-10.
I record into Nuendo on my PC through a Tascam DM3200 mixing board.
I am using Focusrite and ART preamps.
Plug-in wise, I have finally been able to get ahold of some nice reverbs and several VSTi instruments to help with the recording process. Nothing major really.
