Where are you based?
Illinois.
What inspired you to create music?
I’ve been playing guitar since I was 15 and have loved metal music my whole life. I was inspired by bands I grew up listening to and bands I listen to now. I wanted to create something of my own and share it with the world.
Who are your biggest musical influences?
My biggest influences I would say are Death, Bathory, Slayer, and old school death metal as a whole. I am also influenced by classical music, and I am actually a classical guitarist as well. I have the nails to prove it! Haha.
Are you signed to a label or are you independent?
Independent.
What have been the biggest challenges in your career?
For this project, I think just learning how to do everything. It is the first time I’ve produced an album. But I like the challenge and I enjoy learning, so I loved every step.
How many songs or albums have you released to date?
Ashen Kingdom is the first one!
Can you tell us a few things about your latest release?
If you’re a fan of death metal, black metal, or thrash metal, or all of the above, you should check out my album! I enjoyed every step of making it.
Any plans for new music or upcoming projects we should know about?
Touring is a little hard as a solo project. Only have so many arms. Haha. But I would like to say thank you to everyone that keeps metal alive! And thank you for interviewing me!
