friend. His inspiration has been key in helping me find my own unique
sound and identity. During the days when Shred was dying and Grunge was
the rave, it was guitar hero’s like Joe Stump & George Bellas who carried the Neoclassical torch high and proud - Their strength and
passion inspired me to continue writing, playing and recording the music I love."
