I'm from NYC. Been in San Francisco for a while.
Play guitar for 80's coverband Tainted Love.
Love my job!I knew ever since I was a kid, I wanted to play music. My Dad had Beatles and Stones records in the Seventies and that's what I listened to from age 5 to 8. My parents put me in guitar lessons when I was 7, but I got bored in a few months cause I wanted to learn Kiss songs and my teacher wasn't having any of it.
It wasn't until I turned 14 when a friend and I decided to start a BAND. I really wanted to be a drummer, but my Dad wouldn't buy me drums. My friend's dad bought him drums.
I packed groceries for a summer, saved $150 and bought an amp and a German Telecaster copy. I became the guitar player. Next thing a needed to do was learn how to play guitar. Things just worked out.
