History

He joined Black Veil Brides in mid-2009 when Andy Biersack was reforming his band in Hollywood, California. He has also played in the bands The Dreaming, Amen, Team Cybergeist, and The Drastics.[1][2][3][4] He got his first guitar when he was two, and started playing live shows with his father at the age of eight, mainly playing in local bars.[1] He is heavily influenced by classical music and classical composers, such as Bach and Beethoven.[2][5] The first album he ever owned was Metallica's fourth album, ...And Justice for All, and he learned every track from start to finish.[6] He and fellow Black Veil Brides guitarist Jake Pitts won Revolver Magazine's Golden Gods Award for "Best Guitarists 2012".[7][8]
