Prog Rock Jock
This channel documents my journey as a music lover and a musician.
Ever since I could remember being able to hear, I remember the music I heard. My parents would play music from their favorite artists, as loud as our ears could handle, daily. They played it all except for Heavy Metal and Punk Rock. My interest in these aggressive genres of music is where my journey as a musician began.
It took me close to 5 years to evolve from the garage, but once I did, I went on to do countless recordings and concerts, as well as work with many reputable names in the music industry. You will see that I have the videos to prove it.
"Prog Rock Jock" is a nickname that an old bandmate gave me 20 years ago. He called me this because I was obsessed with Prog Rock. Plus, while I always denied it, he felt I was a bit athletically inclined.
I couldn't think of a better name for this channel, so I picked this one because I just wanted to get on with it.
