I was born in Athens, Greece to a military family. I was fortunate enough to live in Berlin, Germany in a time where I helped tear down a wall that not only divided a city or nation, but symbolized intolerance of different ideologies throughout the world. For the most part, I was raised in the Baltimore / Washington DC metro area, but lately I've been trying out the desert in Phoenix, Arizona. I always give 100% and I hope I can find some like minded artists that just want to put more good music out there, and maybe make a living doing it. My influences come from anywhere. My inspiration comes from everywhere...could even be you. I'm everyone - John Q.
