SEEDY ORIGINS:

JE has always deeply appreciated the luck he cosmically struck having a father so musical that he constructed a DIY studio from the time that he was a wee lad in East LA. While other children were obsessing over POGs, Power Rangers, and that latest smuggled p**no mag from their dad’s secret shoebox, young JE was obsessing over the fully kitted out, soundproofed garage that his father constructed. The studio constantly abuzz with activity and visits from some of the greatest local talent the SoCal music scene could brew, JE was able to bear witness to the majesty and power of a truly electric jam session on a regular basis- an example that resonated with him well into his own foray into musicianship.

A true watershed moment in JE’s musical formation came upon his first exposure to one of the seminal immortal classics of the era: Van Halen I. From the second his father played that album on the old hi-fi stereo, JE knew he was hooked, hardly believing his ears at what a guitar could sonically produce in the hands of Master such as EVH (RIP). The day one of his dad’s jamming guitarists walked into the studio holding a peculiar rectangular box with a single word emblazoned across it was the day JE’s fortunes were set. That word? MARSHALL.

He didn’t know what it was…. all he knew was that he was determined to find out. It was his DENSITY.
