I started playing when I was five years old when I got a cheap keyboard for Christmas and I just messed around and taught myself notes and chords.
What were the first songs you learned?
Hot Cross Buns and the such in band, but I had written stuff before I got in 5th grade.
Did you take lessons and for how long? What was your teacher like?
I took lessons for guitar for three years from 12-15 and my teacher was very flexible and let me learn what I wanted most of the time I still think he's the reason I wasn't afraid to experiment with my instruments later on.
When was your first performance? What gear did you have?
Technically at a park last summer where I played some really early Machine+ songs and a bunch of AJJ covers. But officially at the talent show this year where I played a Mac DeMarco song.
When did you start or join your first band? What did you play? How long did it last?
I started my first and only band in 2013 called Stone Down Sunshine with my friend, I played guitar, keyboard, and sang and it lasted until mid-2014 when we quit in the middle of recording an EP.
How have your gear preferences changed over time? What is your favorite gear now?
Not really as I don't have a ton of gear, but right now my Flashback Digital Delay pedal is absolutely amazing and gets a suprisingly amount of sounds out of it for just one pedal.
How much gear do you own? How much have you sold? What are you hoping to own in the future?
My Line 6 amp, custom Tele, Flashback delay that's it. I really want more pedals mainly idc about the amps.
How have your influences and playing style changed over time?
I used to play straight rock and metal I moved on sometime late 2013 to the style I have now which is more drone/punk/noise orientated (and folk on the acoustic).

They've both been pretty alright nothing noteworthy I have to find places to play at.

Not at all.

Every single ****ing day no matter what I'm always playing.and I write songs quite frequently too.
