Life is full of obstacles. I still swerve around them
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Learning that he had a passion for music, Royce started playing piano at age five. At age seven, he could play complete scores. Later in his childhood during middle school, he started to play trumpet for his school band where he progressed quickly and was playing in first chair after a couple months. After learning many instruments, he found that guitar was his favorite. Royce lost most of his teenage years in his room writing songs. His projects have never been successful due to many bandmates who weren't reliable. He played with other bands for the exposure, but played minimal shows. Many bands later, he decided to create his own project and record all of the instruments himself using inadequate recording equipment to create "rough draft" songs for later professional recordings. He started his project in 2001 and has been continuing to follow his dream of success.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play wherever I can, Live shows have the most power. Gives me a chance for Criticism.
Your musical influences
From Iggy Pop to Pantera. The Germs to G.G. Allin. Sublime to Slipknot. Not to mention Nirvana to STP, mellow to insane.
What equipment do you use?
I love to play whatever I can get my hands on. If it makes a noise, I'm sure I can figure it out
Anything else?
