Detailed background: I had a big dream as a child: I was standing in front of a huge crowd, in a huge venue, playing my music and entertaining all who came to see me. The audience would chant my name as I left the stage and scream in excitement when I returned for an encore. I had the people in the palm of my hand. Knowing this dream would be shattered I decided to start a band anyway. But first, I had to learn how to play something. So at the age of 10 I started playing the violin. It didn't take long to notice that there was not a lot of demand for violins in rock bands. So while continuing my violin training, I started playing the guitar at age 11. Now I was cool. By the time I was in junior high, I knew enough musicians to start a band. So, the heavy metal band Eights and Aces was created (it was the 80's ya know). Because of difficulty in finding a vocalist, I was stuck as the singer in addition to being the guitarist. After high school came the thriving success of Pulp Society. Once again, for lack of a better choice, I was the singer as well as a guitar player. During the six year career of this band is when I met April Samuels. We quickly requested her services as manager shortly after Pulp Society formed. After the break up of Pulp Society in 1996, April and I immediately discussed plans to form a band. One month later those plans were turned into actions and Frognot was formed (and I'm still friggin' singing).
