The band's mastermind and songwriter recounts his journey to creating Story About Illusion, "As long as I can remember, my passion has always been creating things. I was the kid who spent hours in his room drawing cartoons, while others played football. At 15, I discovered my love for music, particularly the drums and guitar. I was mesmerized by the Nu Metal and alternative music that dominated the late 90s. Bands like Korn, System of a Down, The Offspring, and Green Day left a lasting impression on me. This eventually led me to songwriting and forming a band. The ability to transform emotions into chords and melodies was a whole new dimension for me." |
