I pretty much grew up with music, my dad was a professional sax player, army bandsman, music teacher in school - he's lived a life dedicated to helping others learn and appreciate making music. He's the "Leader of the band" in our family. I too served in the army and picked up accoustic guitar while moving around various tours... later on I taught myself a bit of piano. It's only recently that I got the recording bug and assembled a DAW home studio and began piecing together the many songs I wrote over the years.
