This is where I will answer all the questions that I think people might want to know the answer to! If you don't see the answer here, please feel free to send me an e-mail or send it on twitter over at twitter.com/airfire21
What do you do day-to-day?
Currently I work as an apprentice at a large ISP, doing tech support and complaint resolution for business customers. I love my job, it allows me to help people (something that I love to do) as well as push my technological knowledge to the next level and learn all I can about one of the largest growing industries in the world.
When do you write?
Whenever the mood strikes me. With poems, it usually happens over the course of 5 minutes. I suddenly am struck by a lyric or the title + first line, then the rest just naturally flows from there. I'm never concerned about the outcome at the time of writing, I just express, and then later worry about the quality and the wording etc. Sometimes that can work extremely well, other times it is the worst thing to do, because the spark that is there at the time, quickly fades.
Where does your love of music come from?
It started with obviously my father, who has a great love of prog-rock from the 70s onwards (Genesis, Pink Floyd, Camel - to name a few), he was always listening to music in the car, at home, he carried it with him wherever he went. I didn't really get it, myself, until I was 13. It was a foreign feeling to me. But on the Christmas of 2008, my mother bought me 2 of Death Cab for Cutie 's (one of Benjamin Gibbards main projects) albums, and it was one of my rather, dark periods, in life. I was having an existential crisis, and I didn't really know what to do. That is when I heard 'St. Peter's Cathedral' from the aforementioned Death Cab's Codes And Keys album. It still stands to this day as my favourite song of all time. I've listened to it over 1300 times, and it was my rock through the crisis. I've never forgotten it's power, and when I decide to adorn my rose-tinted glasses, it's the first song that I go to. From then on, I've always been in love with music.
