I just try to approach and serve the music in the way that I think is right for the band I'm in at the time.

I think that the jazzy approach that I have is based on the way that I hear music and in the way I play a supporting role to the other people in the band.

I dream big. I think big. I try to go out and do it as big as I can.

I think music all the time.

I was in every band class I could get in, like after school jazz band and marching band, and that's where I really learned to read music from elementary all the way through junior high and high school.

The Meatbats are a throwback band.
