Ditch
Welcome to Ditch! This is the second music page he has made on the internet, because soundclick has some advantages over myspace.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Born in Iowa City in a house by a football stadium which was peed on all the time by drunken fans (the house not the stadium) and raised in the hum-drum city of Ladue, Isaac Hoft has transformed from a young, nose-picking kindergardener to the young musician you see today. Post-graduation of Ladue Horton Watkins High School, Ditch moves to Southern California to start spreading his message of peace, love and rock to the world at the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes. Usually at school. 90% of the time it rivals sex. A Battle of the Bands with an old metal band I was in In high school constitutes the most fun I've had at a show yet.
Your musical influences
I'm into pretty much everything: folk, rock (classic and all other kinds) , blues (especially when its from 1920 or earlier), jazz, hip-hop, funk, electronic, African, Latin, Eastern, Caribbean, classical, (some) pop... I think there is pretty much a time and place for any kind of music.
I also really like mixes, jams, instrumentals and rock ballads. Anything over five minutes.
What equipment do you use?
Three Guitars
- Inhereted Classical
- Fender Steel String Acoustic
- Schecter Diamond Hollow Body Electric
One MacBook
