I wasn't always the most fashionable, and I would come to school with cauliflower ear and ringworm. I got made fun of a lot.

I've grown up with a piano in the house, and that's where I started to be able to learn things by ear. Guitar kind of happened, and I was using it just for writing at first.

I collect... for a long time, I collected Nike Air Max 90s, this specific shoe.
