My father is a mime and my mother a writer. Raised between awkward silence and good grammar I quickly gravitated towards music. I built my first guitar from rubber bands when I was seven. Sensing I might be able to get a better tone with real strings, four years later I got my first electric and promptly ruined it with a splatter paint job. The second guitar met a worse end as it flew off it's strap while I was practicing the whirl the guitar around the back move in 1987.
