Brendan McCreary (who actually spells it BrEndAn) decided that he was going to become a rock star at the ripe age of 11.
He tells me, “It was the summer of my 8th grade year, and staring at the piano keys in my living room, I realized there was a lot more going on with music than I had any knowledge of, and for the first time in my life, I was actually interested in something other than action figures and dirt. I wanted to know about chord structures, and song forms. I wanted to write my own songs, and sing them and play them … and so I did: and there’s never been a doubt in my mind about it since." He continues, “I believe very strongly, that although I had always gravitated towards music from the time I popped out, the major reason I got into music was because no one told me to. It wasn’t like all that other shit … math, science, social studies, literature, PE … music was mine. No one gave it to me, and no one could take it away. In this way, as a young idyllic child, I stuck it to the Man, that asshole." It’s impossible to not love a musician with this sort of attitude, isn’t it?
The first instrument that BrEndAn began playing was the guitar and he reveals that his favorite part about playing the guitar is that it “unleashes the proverbial beast” in him.
