History: My musical training started at a young age, I guess you could call me some kind of little choir boy. I sang at church under the direction of my mom for most of my youth. In junior high I took up trombone in the school band where I learned to read sheet music. Since that time, I've gained plenty of experience in both instrumental and choral music. I started playing bass nearing the end of the year 2000, Sometime around August. I first picked up a Cort Bass. I joined up with friends Raphael Romero and Eli Ross. We played around as a three piece for awhile, til I decided I didnt want to any longer. I left the band in November of 2000, only to return in March of 2001. Sometime after that I began taking bass lessons under the direction of Joe Aranda. Toward the beginning of the 2001 school year, Ross joined the band. Since then, the four of us have been rockin' and rollin'. Oh yeah, and if you think our mp3's really suck, dont worry weve got better stuff on the way. The Nook will not dissappoint. Rock On.
