Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it.

But around the age 13-14 I had my voice break (the thing that all boys go through at this age) and I couldn't sing at that time, but I st

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music?
Definitely! There's actually been a few that have triggered a new direction or phase. The one that really got me into writing my own music and forming my first band was watching the Green Day Bullet in a Bible DVD for the first time. That really pushed me towards the pop-punk side of things for 10-11 years. I was in multiple bands that played music similar to

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to cover Leonard Cohen Tell us about it. I had met an enchanting singer named Carol Lipnick at Pangea, our favorite New York room, who wrote a lot of her own material. I tried to catch all of her shows, and one night she sang “Anthem”.

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. In all honesty, we both wrote our first song together in 2009 just for fun, and really with no firm plans of pursuing a career in music. After that initial song, though, we started writing a little more and realized that we had a knack for it, and that eventually led to us having the vision for Prince Ivan.
