Artist History At the Age of 14 I started playing guitar, greatly influenced by Brad Nowell and Sublime. When I moved from Austin, TX to Scottsdale, AZ, I used the guitar as a way to pass the time in my utter boredom. I then stopped for a while, and delved slightly into the world of computer generated music using simple Programs. Basically, thats where I strayed from the traditional rock music background, and into the more experimental Electronic Music Scene. I started basically playing with audio programs and got myself familiar with the basic ideas of it all...Whenever my brother would visit, he'd teach me a few things that would make me realize that things could be better than they were. So I got the money together and bought 2 Turntables, and a DJ Mixer. I Started DJing when I turned 16, and continued with that for about 6 months. I then got interested in music production, not just mixing. SO I bought my first synthesizer, and Oberheim OB-12 (My BigBlue Buddy). From then on, it's just gone up. Thousands of dollars later, Lucid Recording Studio is born, and here you are, listening to the tunes coming from my 5 years of work.
