My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band. ↗

On tour, you never have a home, you don't get used to anything, and you're always super busy. ↗

Then I tried out for the Fontana High School drum line, in Riverside, and I did really well. I got second chair, and played snare in that drum line for three years. ↗

There's a lot more responsibility at home, so a tour is like the opposite for me. It's like a breath of fresh air. ↗

We just wrote songs that seemed good to us. We wrote the album in like two weeks. We could have had more time, but we accomplished what we needed to in the two weeks. ↗
