Resident of the southern California desert, originally from the excellent city of Sacramento, home of the greatest local band scene in the world! Student at Copper Mountain College, where I study communications and web design. Was originally going to be a dental hygienist but I figured that life wasn’t for me. A bit of a social network whore, as there is nothing else better to do out in the desert. I love any genre, but deathcore is my genre of choice. I have a huge list of bands I’ve seen live, as it was my favorite thing to do every weekend. Mediocre plastic guitar player at best. Xbox gamertag: bakalakadaka21. Let’s get down on some Xbox arcade games! I love to read anything by Stephen King or Robin Cook. I also work with Century Media Records Road Unit, Roadrunner Records Road Crew, and the Artery Recordings, Coheed and Cambria, and Ferret Music street teams. Check out my record label R&B Records, I will be reviving this in the near future so keep an eye out.
