“My first vinyl record was an original record of my grandma playing piano.”
“I found it along with an antique record player in my Grandpa’s garage after he passed away. It was definitely one of the coolest things I have ever heard. You could hear the crackle of years of wear along with this beautiful distant piano sound of my grandma playing. That is when my love of vinyl began.
When I moved to San Diego State to go to college for my music degree, I started collecting vinyl at garage sales. I took the most beat up ones and spray painted them into art pieces to hang on the wall of my room. After I moved out to start touring with my band The Material, I had to get rid of pretty much everything I owned, along with most of the records, but I still have a few from those days, including a beloved Frank Sinatra Ol’ Blue Eyes.
When it comes to my music, I always wanted to have a timeless rock sound. The fact that our album is coming out next month on vinyl is a dream come true. There is something really cool and classic about having my own music in timeless form.
I can’t wait to play it!”
