I was born and raised in Grand Prairie, TX. Was always drawn to music. Mom and dad both played. I remember my first turntable, it only played 45’s. I nearly destroyed that thing trying to learn songs like Classical Gas by Mason Williams, Cat’s in the Cradle by Harry Chapin, the riff to Hendrix’s Purple Haze and lots of others. Went to The University of North Texas in Denton for guitar and vocal performance, and also Cedar Valley College in Dallas for their audio engineering program. Dropped out of both though. Toured a good bit of the U.S. all through the nineties with my group, Brad Thompson & The Undulating Band. We made several recordings, won some awards, saw some beautiful places and played with tons of talented people along the way. Best time ever!
