He started playing the drums when he reached 11 years of age, and by the age of 15, he was playing [bass guitar](/wiki/Bass_guitar "Bass guitar") and started singing. From 1989 to 1995 he was a graphic designer for Bell company. The first band he played in was called *Any Way,* as their drummer. Knowing he wanted to become a band leader, he formed his own group called *Deep Freeze*.
