His biggest influences were threats from his parents and the nausea of being caught in a lie. He comes from Chicago but, unable to pass the Organized Crime aptitude test (and re-test), he turned to music. His singing sounds like a rusty hinge in a church and induces the same effect--goes in one ear and down your spine. When not with the Stolen Gnomes, he plays with himself
