Personal statement (Year 2003)
I was born, but I didn’t live until I sang my first song. Music is the only way I have to immortalize moments in time. I personally believe in saying what’s on your mind no matter what, but only if it’s the truth…unless you feel like lying. You’ll have the rest of your life to regret it. And if you don’t, more power to you.
Influences
The corrosive effects of every negative emotion of the human spirit and fickleness of fortune. They teach me that anything can be worse than it is. The power of perception and brutality of unfiltered truth, as well as the balance that everyone chooses to ignore in order to become "themselves". Soundgarden and Sabbath too.
Hopes and dreams
To make people feel, whether by song, or fist in the fucking face.
