Tranfered to a University to study Public Relations.
Dropped out of school and started playing music in various bands.

Day to Day
You would see us recording music in our studio as currently we are making our upcoming album that will be titled "Rubik's Cube". Ideally we get together and run through ideas and then write the arrangements for the songs and record them. A lot of our music and arrangements comes from trying new things and experimentation. When we finish recording the album we plan to get back to rehearsing and performing. On occasion we are given projects for television.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
You just have to write and perform your music. Record everything that comes to your head and do not be afraid of criticism. In fact try to enjoy criticism if you can. And most importantly do not fear rejection and remember that there will always be someone who does what you do maybe better than you, but what you conceive as a songwriter is yours forever, and thats a beautiful thing.
