-2000-2002
Way in high school. that was 2nd year high school 2000, when my school mate decided to form a punk band, then my friend called me up to join them, and the funny thing is I just started to play the drums, and man... Travis Barker's chops and fills are insanely fast and crazy! and that motivates me to practice hard starting that time. Nagamit gyud ako pagka snarer sa Drum and Bugle! hehe.

2003-20004

The Marleys

[sleepwalker]

nagsugod kog combo2x since 1997 and I was 1st yr. hi-school aning na time.

Major influences nako daghan:

1. Greenday for giving me an idea of 2-3chords ideology. The melody and the vocal tune helped me to make original songs.
2. MXPX, SlickShoes for giving me an opportunity to make sensual lyrics such as love and positivity about life in general. I almost forgot... The beat! so amazing that a very fast paced music can still concentrate the focus in being in timing.
3. Blink 182: I'll say thank you to them because they taught me on how to be a punk rocker. being a punkrocker in a sense of attitude sometimes need to be shown like saying bad words made me feel so cool! I am talking about before ok? i was 1st yr. high school then.
4. The Offspring: this band made me serious in writing music however this band also taught me how to express hatred. it made me fell to quit school that time and being exposed in hating anything. probably i was just exaggerating.
5. Alkaline Trio: this -band also taught me and gave me idea that a horror movies can be put into melodies as well and made myself writing about songs having horror stories, murder and arson.
6. Rx bandits:for giving me the idea to put flowering tunes on instruments. they also taught me how to play the guitar in more passionate manner. "kabalo nako mag gitik2x" hehehe....
