There's so much music in Austin, and it's all so different.

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

I like to see how people interact with each other and I draw from that. I'm inspired by that.

When I got my first guitar, I played along with everything I heard that had guitar in it, like the Ramones, Nirvana and Sublime, as well as whatever hip-hop and R&B stuff was on the radio.

I don't believe in competition, ain't nobody else like me around

I'm somewhat of a hoarder. I keep everything.

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.
