I grew up with synthesizers and weird, spacey music-hip-hop, R&B, modern rock-that I heard on the radio. That's influenced the way I play music. It's natural for me to go with what I feel. If I didn't let that other stuff out and stuck to a certain format, I would feel like I was missing out on something. I'm just enjoying my ride and being who I am.

I don't think anything can touch the expressive range of the guitar.

The blues is the foundation for a lot of things. Things have branched off. Its cool how music grows, but the foundation is always there. Its not going anywhere. The blues is always going to be relevant.

You could say I'm a laid-back kind of guy.

I'm obsessed with fuzz pedals.

You're gonna know my name by the end of the night.

Most of my songs start out as being very aggressive and guitar-driven.
