Kyle

I'm just a good 'ole boy, but I have lived a few places other than the south through out my life. Arizona is the furthest west I've ever called home, but I've lived in New Jersey, Ohio, Texas and Arkansas just to name a few. I imagine I'll be moving to California at some point to continue pursuing my music career and to complete the coast to coast living thing. But who knows?
About that music career...I'm a local musician here in Tempe, Arizona. I'm lead singer of my band Ellington Effect (search for us on MYSPACE and also go to our site www.EllingtonEffect.com). Before moving to Tempe, I lived in Little Rock, Arkansas where I spent most of my younger and teen years. Redneck and Clinton jokes aside, there's some really good people there.
I'm a nice guy to a fault sometimes. I'm unbelievably loyal to people I decide to open up to and befriend.
I like to go out on the weekends and drink beer and generally have a good time and be social. When I'm on a roll and loose I think I'm pretty entertaining and funny. I love to camp and generally do stuff outside when the weather isn't blisteringly hot. Camping is all we did for fun back in Little Rock so it's sort of become a part of me.
I have a sarcastic sense of humor and love comedy and hilarity. I actually did comedy for a while in high school and college. I was in the cast of The Farce Side Comedy Hour every week at my alum Arizona State University as well. Love people that are funny and keep me laughing.
I also was an actor in high school and into my college years at ASU. I was a part of many regular theater productions but had more of a knack for comedic acting stuff as I mentioned earlier.While we're discussing things at ASU, I should mention I have an obsession with Sun Devil Football. I haven't missed a home game at Sun Devil Stadium in five years. Many a funny story start with "So I was drinking at the ASU game..."
Also I'm a huge fan of pop culture. I watch pretty much everything on TV and in the theaters. I sort of have a super-hero complex so I get into shows like Smallville. I guess I like to be the guy that people look for to save the day. Love to just talk about TV and film too. I find myself quoting obscure movie/tv lines way too often. I'm weird like that.
And naturally to add to stuff I like in popular culture, I'm a huge music fan. I like probably something from every genre. I'm not a music snob so I've probably been scoffed at by hipsters and record store employees on more than one occasion.
But like I said, I'm in a band, so that's where my fascination for music comes from. The band stuff takes up a lot of my passion and time. I also have a pretty kick ass job working for local radio station The Edge 103.9. But music's my dream and it's my goal to make a living playing music at some point in this life as cheezey or cliched as it may sound. And hopefully sooner rather than later. Come check us out sometime. We put on a great show that isn't scary or painful to hear like a lot of AZ music.
