He joined Rock Band in his junior year and performed at Battle of the Bands, playing “Blind” by Korn and “I Don’t Want To Be Me” by Type O Negative. He states he was scared at first but in the middle of performing, he actually started to enjoy this new experience.
As this new feeling came into his life, he would form a band with his best friend and would add in his two other good friends. He named his band, Reality, and stated during the day, in Rock band, he actually grew comfortable performing in front of people.
