Your musical influences
My biggest influence in my life has been my father. At a young age he opened the doors of music to me. I started guitar at age 4 and drums at age 6. I played drums up until high school. During that point in my life, all I listened to was classic rock. When I hit high school, my assistant band director introduced me to jazz and I got hooked. I dropped my other instruments and have spent the past three years studying saxophone exclusively.
