I grew up in California, enjoy x games and work construction. Moved to Aurora in 96 to surf the Rockies and build houses.
In 99 I met Damian, a roommate guitar player. I started my music journey with him by doing covers. Took a year of vocal training and guitar lessons so that I could audition for bands around Denver.
My first band was a cover band named Lost Reality. I chose to branch out on my own and formed Dirty Grind. Some friends joined us for a jam session and we clicked. Tommy, Rik, Montoya started a new project with no name. Names were kicked around until Squidlick was born.
The music that influences my song writing and performances include local bands such as The Swanks and King Rat. The music I listen to that influences me is punk, hardcore, thrash metal, grunge, 70's rock, alternative and gangsta rap.
