Every artist has a beginning, and it is always important to accept this beginning and learn from it. I have included examples from these two recordings to demonstrate the growth that can occur with patience, persistence, and an intolerance for static motion. In fall of 2001, I formed a band called Adiction. We later recorded two Eps just before I quit. Once leaving Adiction, I joined a band called Verdict. This band included my longtime writing partner Justin Resnick. I feel these two recording show immense growth and I believe any student should strive to better him or herself by constantly moving forward.
