How did the making of music become your life? How did you get your start?
My mom had an acoustic guitar around the house growing up and I was constantly trying to teach myself how to play it. That never really let up. I started taking it more seriously in high school, and started doing it professionally when I was 18.

Who were your major influences? What guides your playing style?
My top 3 growing up were Letters to Cleo, Portishead, and the Cure. Not really sure what guides my playing style, whatever comes to me I suppose. I feel differently and play differently every couple years.

What's your rig? First guitar? Current? Any gear you can't live without?
I play a 60s Aria Diamond 1532T through a Peavey Classic 50 half stack. My first guitar was a strat style Cort I got when I was 8. Right now I play the Aria, and I have a standard Fender Telecaster and standard Fender Stratocaster as well. Couldn’t live without my Walrus Audio Mayflower. I use it for everything.

What do you or the band have coming up?
Touring with Mineral in January, so incredibly excited, I grew up listening to them.
