rhY Thornton

​rhY began his life of hard work breaking wild horses and milking goats on ranches and farms in the mojave desert, saving to buy his first viola. His music career began in many acclaimed youth orchestras. Later he studied Jimi Hendrix and the Doors, learned guitar, and started playing in bars long before it was legal for him to be there (His high school principle mistakenly bought him a beer WHILE he was still in school!). rhY then self-produced his first album playing every part himself in a studio he had cobbled together from scraps and sheer hard work, all before the age of 20, and while supporting himself at dead-end jobs.
