Hometown: Owego, NY Currently living: Owego, NY Origin of name: I ran out of ideas, so a friend of mine actually suggested it to me. I wish it had more meaning, but I guess my creativity is limited to music itself. Weapon of choice: If we’re talking actual weapons, my 12-gauge has my heart. If we’re talking instruments, my MTD Kingston KZ6 bass is my baby. Source of power: Carmack, of course. What advice would you offer someone thinking about entering the Discovery Project competition?
