It seems like I have more in common - or hit it off better - with rappers than fools that are in rock music. It was always natural for me.

I was in a band called Hooker for a while.

I looked Death right in the face.

I was playing with the Aquabats, and then I quit to join a band called Suicide Machine in Detroit.

And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.

I wanted to say thanks... and share my gratitude for everything I've been blessed with. Family, friends, and continued support from everyone.

I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.
