1. How did you get started making records? When I was younger growing up in Phoenix I was obsessed with collecting records. I was super into listening to music as a kid. I tried out a few different instruments, but I really wasn’t very good at reading music and theory was never my thing.
I found my way into a recording engineering program at school here in Arizona. As soon as that happened, I felt like I was in the right place. A lot of my friends at the time were musicians because I was super into music so I was pretty active in the music scene back in the early 2000s.
