I was in a handful of bands and groups in the previous years as a now 14-year drummer, playing shows in downtown Fort Myers, FL practicing in garages and hot bedrooms. I always dreamed of playing bigger, better shows for loads of people. I’ve just never played with anyone that wanted to take it further. Now, after performing in 7 bands and only ever playing for a maximum of 200 people, I had finally found Brian, who was the most enthusiastic and passionate person I have ever met when it comes to music. It was he who also wanted to take it to the highest level possible. Albeit surreal, I jumped on the bandwagon for the ride, and it’s been a wild experience ever since. One day, Brian eventually told me about a local studio in town, where he wanted to record some originals. He pushed and pushed me to come join him to start recording for a couple weeks. It took me a while to say yes to joining him in the studio, but once I did, I fell in love with the scene. It felt so empowering to just be in the studio.
