I'm 15 years old and fell in love with music at around age 7.
My Early music career involved becoming something of a prodigy to my grandfather as a child banjo player.
It was something I took a lot of pride in, playing shows on radio stations and on T.V at age 7, picking a banjo or strumming a mandolin was incredible fun.
Around age 12 I lost interest in bluegrass, and started broadening my mental horizons, learning my likes and dislikes and becoming a more diverse person when it came to musical opinions. My early influences included Classic Rock gods such as AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, typical kid stuff, mostly due to my father. I held on to those bands until around 14, that's when I began a huge roll of getting into Hard Rock bands, and seeing artists I wanted to be exactly like.
I eventually fell into the Late 90's / 00's rock / grunge scene. Finding forces like James Hetfield of Metallica and Dave Grohl of The Foo Fighters to be my idols. I'm a fairly modest person with a ton of likes and horrifying dislikes. I'm not really in a mood to completely describe myself like some attention hungry scene indie rock chick on myspace. So just know, Music is my passion. I play the piano, guitar, clarinet, banjo, and mandolin. I'm also currently in a band, with my friends Cameron Hatfield and Johnathan Gregory, check that out here.
Buddy Tyree
Yeah, that's me over therelol.
I'm Solid Snake.
Okay now let's get srsfaced here.
Muh full name is William B. Joshua Tyree. Was born March 17th, 1995 in a BP gas station that many called Knox County Hospital (my ex girlfriend didn't even know that I don't think). There's now a meth lab in the room I was born in.
I got into music in about forth grade, Bowling For Soup's "A Hangover You Don't Deserve" being the album to show me this little thing called "Music". I was a naive as they come. Music was this thing that came on the radio, this interesting little thing. There was only two artists, John Mayer (since his voice was pretty distinct to me) and there was Everyone Else.
I got "A Hangover You Don't Deserve" for my... ninth or tenth birthday? It sat on a shelf for about four months after one playthrough, then I popped that sucker in and played the absolute hell out of it. Fell in love with BFS. Bought every album that was commercially available, and listened to them for hours on end.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've probably played "A Hangover You Don't Deserve" 3000 times through. My favorite album ever, bar none.
Well 5th grade came, and I found myself a singing voice. I sung every day. Sung so much people started hating it. I don't blame 'em.
I found the band that really shaped my musical love in '06: The Goo Goo Dolls. Those guys completely changed how I look at music. I started playing guitar because of those guys.
Well, with the Goo Goo Dolls came a broadening in my musical tastes. I discovered nostalgia, and found that feeling in Third Eye Blind, Foreigner, in that song "She's So High" by that one dude no one knows the name of... if it was '90s, I nostalgia'd from it. Hence my deep passion for '90s music.
I got into indie in '09 after reading Questionable Content (which I still read weekly). Started listening to Modest Mouse in late '09. I was going through a hard time and those guys killed all negative emotions and left me with nothing but bliss when I listened to them. My first steps into indie rock.
Well, 2010 came, and Jeff showed me this band. This obscure band that no one had heard of. American Football was the band. I listened to them for a good chunk of time. One night I decided to open up my Last.fm scrobbler and made an American Football radio station. I fell in love with this genre called indie. Come to find out, it was more of an emo genre. EMO?! This type of person that I've hated for the past four years, and it turns out this genre I LOVE is emo. Crazy. Well, I've become a mild hipster the past few months. I'll take a Midwest Pen Pals EP over the radio, thanks.
Well, I've written entirely too much. I think I like myself too much.
HAH Buddy and self appreciation. Funny.
