Back in January 1998 I formed my first band  The Fucked Ups as a one time song ,then one performance, then 3 years together with different members that turned into a lifetime of songwriting and performing. After the band stopped in 2001 I focused on writing  my first solo recordings, at times collaborating with my bandmates of  The Fucked Ups. In 2007 I helped piece together my second band, Drowned in Echo.Except for two changes initially in bass players, we  stayed the same lineup until 2009. During 2009 I started also writing songs that wasn't quite in the style of Drowned in Echo. I also put together and performed as part of a comedy tribute showcase, Inside the Brown Bag. Since 2009 I have collaborated, and performed, with various musicians and recorded solo.
