[edit] Biography
Born in a hospital in Zachary, Louisiana, Klayton lived in Denham Springs, Louisiana until 1998, where he moved to Prairieville, Louisiana and is currently residing at. Until mid-1990's, Klayton listened to 80's pop until hearing his first metal song, which was "Hell Patrol" by Judas Priest. Shortly after, he dreamed of playing an eletric guitar and becoming the best metal guitarist alive. Along side of his love for "True Metal", he also loved the Japanese culture and later getting into computer technology and a moderate obsession for video games.
[edit] Musical Background
At the age of 13, he began to take guitar lessons and learned very quickly. He ultimately became a master of rhythm guitaring within less than 2 years, so he decided to take on the challenge of lead guitaring. He hates covering songs and perfers playing his material. Due to his age and region, he often has problems finding a band he could bring out his skills to his fullest.
His early style was of playing Speed Metal which evolved into playing Thrash Metal/Heavy metal. Years later, after first hearing Power Metal, he decided that was the style he desired to do so it change into a Thrash Metal/Power Metal and then pure power metal.
Klayton considers himself a "gutiar wizard" due to the complex and creative playing. Guitar is not his only instrument he can play but is skilled also as a bassist, amatuer drummer, amatuer keyboardist, and vocalist.
