WOW. Hard hitters over here. Let's say "Norwegian Wood" by the Beatles.

Tell us about how you first started gigging.
02.04.19
I started playing open-mics around where I went to school in Los Angeles (as soon as I acquired the false identification necessary to gain access to the bars). I started off playing acoustic sets, but after a bout of tendonitis I had to switch over to electronic. Since 2016, I've been playing venues, festivals, house concerts, streets, bathtubs around the West Coast.
Tell us about your best gig in Sac.

I played at this year's Porch Fest and the vibe was just so good. Beautiful day, beautiful people, an absolute treat to be part of.
Tell us about your worst gig.

LOL. I performed at a radio station once and didn't realize the entire hour I was in there was going to be aired unedited, so between songs there was just minutes of silence, me boop-beeping different instruments, stopping songs halfway and going, "DANG, I just butchered that one, can I start over?" and saying stuff like "WOW, I am slobbering all over this microphone." Listening to it later on air was painful. Hilarious, but painful.
