What was your favorite music during the ____'s?

When I think about the 70s, my mind immediately goes to bands like The Kinks. We have such an extensive vinyl collection, a whole room dedicated to it, and their records are definitely a constant spin for us. It's more than just listening; it's about the atmosphere, the way we entertain ourselves and friends. There’s just something about that era, especially bands like The Kinks, that we always find ourselves drawn back to, keeping that classic vibe alive in our home.

Name a song from early childhood that made you begin to realize you may want to be a musician

Honestly, it wasn't just a single song, but the entire force of AC/DC that hit me like a ton of bricks in my early childhood. Watching Angus Young absolutely own the stage, doing his thing with that incredible energy, made me realize I wanted to be a musician more than anything. I devoured their albums, the vinyl, the videos – everything. That raw power, the cool occult imagery; it was all just so magnetic to a young kid like me. It wasn't just the sound, but the whole spectacle of AC/DC that planted the seed for me wanting to pick up an instrument and do what they did.

What is the first artist, album, or song you remember from childhood?

When I look back to my earliest memories, it all unequivocally starts with AC/DC. I was just a kid when I first saw Angus Young on stage, doing his iconic thing, and from that moment, I was completely hooked. I immersed myself in everything AC/DC: their albums, the vinyl, the books, and those old music videos we used to watch on DVD. There was just something so incredibly cool about their sound and even the occult, devil imagery they used. I wanted nothing more than to be Angus Young; he was the ultimate inspiration for me from a very young age.
