Born and raised in Deer Lodge, Montana. Have a good Mom and Dad
two kick-ass sisters and a tough-ass brother. I grew up watching
my Dad play music. I loved hip hop and rap in my teens. I began
experimenting with recording and creating music with a couple turntables
a piece of shit sampler and a drum machine. I painted 36 paintings
which I called my master pieces when I was 17 to 18. I joined the
Army and served my country. Stationed in Germany, my life changed
and I learned the guitar. Went back to the States in 1993 where
I worked as a cook, chef, and baker. I got tired of that, and went
back to school so I could start a band and expand my knowledge.
I have had things happen in my life that I cannot forget. As you
can tell from my lyrics I have been gifted in many ways; however
my soul is tortured. My music comes from another side, and I am
just the delivering vessel. Keep looking and you will find me, and
you too will know this is uncontrollably real.
