Been playing since I was 10, started on drums actually. Got into guitar at 13, started playing seriously within only the last year or so, one of those 'turn negative energy to something productive' kinda things.
I am very involved in grassroots organizing. Worked for a few non-profits, worked to spreading some information regarding NAFTA, the unchallenged sweat shops in my native Los Angeles, and a few other projects from bringing inner city high school kids to the college I attend for workshops to helping others organize their own operations.
It's hard work, I get no pay, and I neglect my schoolwork for it, but hey, this kept me away from gangs when I was younger, so I owe alot to it.
