I first started playing guitar at the young age of 15. It was my escape from reality and music became my coping mechanism. I began by wanting to emulate artists such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Lifeson, Ritchie Blackmore and David Gilmour. Listening to these players just made me want to explore the guitar like a map. Then I discovered artists like John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert, Gary Moore, Tony MacAlpine, Reb Beach, Zakk Wylde, Michael Schenker and Rusty Cooley. This ignited a desire in me to just create, create, create.  I never learnt to read music, I just plug and play. I'm not a pro in any way, shape or form, but the more I dug into the world of guitar pedals, the more hungered for new sounds. It's like creating something new each time, while also trying to figure out how these legendary players get their tone. 

The world of the guitar tone is a journey, something I enjoy travelling. Because you never know what you'll discover along the way.
