I grew up on one Grandfathers Country Gospel & Rockabilly and the others Big Band Sound. Fell in love with Punk Rock as a rebellious teen. Got into underground Hip-Hop & Jungle in my mid teens. Late 20's I rediscovered Rockabilly and Traditional Country on Broadway in Nashville, TN. Now in my 30's I feel like my taste for musical menagerie is finally being demonstrated in my music.
Guitar, Keys, Upright Bass, trumpet and maybe one or two more...who really cares?
Ableton Live 9, Pro-Tools, FL Studio #??, and some randoms I use for little tweaks and ish.
M-audio Condenser Mic a couple of SM-58's, M-Audio Axiom 25, Ableton Push, Pro-tools console and interface, Focusrite Saffire USB interface.... ok, im done. I rarely use more than a midi controller these days though.
Ive got some Rancid, AFI, Yelawolf, Waylon Jennings, Glen Campbell and more in my playlist right now.
I dont remember the names of most....Favorite album right now though is Yelawolf's "Love Story".
Statler Brothers, Glen Miller, NoFX, AFI, El P, Sage Francis, Hank Sr., Jr, and III, Yelawolf, Big K.R.I.T., Eminem, Aphrodite, Hive, Marijuana, Disambiguation, Guilt, Pleasure, Pain, Love, Hate, alcohol and all that funky stuff.
The most honest journey through my life that I can possibly mentally handle.
