I was born in Jonesboro AR and moved to Little Rock AR around the age 7. I got my first guitar at age 14 for Christmas. I was really big into the darker and heavier and more melodic musics. Old Megadeth and Metallica, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden were my early influences alongside others like Pink Floyd and Van Halen. I later picked up other styles of metal and grew to love many different bands. I am happy to be writing and playing music with NonGrata. We have taken on a style of our own and we enjoy entertaining those that will listen. Thank you all!
