I have only been around (as DNL) since last year (2009), in April or May, I think, when I did a cover version of "4321" by Manafest at my school's talent show. Before that (around the end of 2008), I had the uber-wack name thought up: "ZL for God" (as a play on words of Zeal for God). In a 2010 talent show, I did a collab cover of "Impossible" by Manafest ft. Thousand Foot Krutch with my friends' band Burnside and I also did a few lines from the "Braveheart Freestyle" by KJ-52. More recently, I finally performed something original (The New Life) at a retreat my school had.
Not really... I guess I've performed a few times at events at my school. I could play live if anyone wanted me too.
