It was around the end of High School that I picked up music and started to play guitar, mandolin and a bit of bass. The year after that I started writing songs as a hobby. I wanted to be a sculptor, so I thought, maybe. I traveled some and started writing about the people I'd met and the places I'd been. Saw lots of strange things, stayed with lots of strange folks, read lots of silly old Russian novels. And here I am now, still trying to find something to sing.
