My earliest musical memory was getting to watch my dad play drums in a local band. He's a banker by trade, but a drummer at heart. I remember seeing the guitar player do the solo from "Werewolves of London" with his teeth, and that was the moment that had me hooked.

My best friend from college engineered my record. He and I keep in touch on just a purely one-music-fan-to-another basis.

I try to aim high and put myself in positions where I'm the least experienced person.

I build an entire fort out of pillows. I need at least four pillows. I need on each side, I need one normal usage pillow for the back of my head, and I need another pillow just in case.

I feel like I am in turbo mode as a student of entertainment.

No matter what does, or doesn't, happen for me in the music industry, getting to play the Opry as a kid was always be a highlight of mine.

Things have always happened better for me than I could plan them to.
