Banded Story: I knew I wanted to be a musician when I was a junior in high school. I decided that if I had to "grow up and get a job," it was going to be be a job doing something I loved. Since that decision, I haven't felt liked I've really had a "job" in music. Music is my lifestyle. Music is the reason I get out of bed. Music is what keeps me hungry to learn everyday. This is the kind of "job" I've dreamed of. I'm literally "living the dream;" my dream.
