Before I was a composer - I was a guitarist. I fell in love with rock music all the way in 2008 when I was 12 years old and still remember the day I picked up the guitar to play Prince of Persia: Warrior Within OST. It was exactly this genre that brought me into the world of music.

I went to music school for 4 years studying classical guitar, participated in many school competitions, started a band back in 2012 called "Almost American" as well as played in Hillsboro High School Jazz Band for over a year. Needless to say - rock music is in my soul. 

When it comes to my rock music production you will find heavy influences of many various bands.

In terms of hard rock bands my influences are Godsmack, Tool, Limp Bizkit, The Offspring, System of a Down, Foo Fighters along with others 90s and 2000s bands. When it comes to lighter rock, I was greatly influenced by bands like Switchfoot, Coldplay, Weezer, Green Day and Blink-182.

In video game music world - rock has always played an integral part in my action packed compositions. My go to references in terms of writing hard rock soundtrack music is Prince of Persia: Warrior Within soundtrack, Doom and good old Tony Hawk series.
