Early Life

Brittain's childhood was surrounded by music, with him picking up drums, guitar, and piano early on. While he was raised on country music, he claims that Rage Against The Machine changed his life and set him on a path of rock n' roll. He then discovered other artists like Nirvana, Blink-182, Incubus, and Tupac, slowly developing a sound based firmly in rock and hip-hop.[1]
