Let's Get To Know Night Razor

Night Razor released his "Bleeding Edge Of Night" album in October of 2021 and it has been one of my favorite albums of the year!
1- Where did you grow up?
Mostly in West Des Moines, Iowa, but also Grinnell. 2- What is one of the first songs you remember liking as a kid?
Styx-"Mr. Roboto." I remember thinking how futuristic it sounded with the vocoder and synth line featured so prominently, and of course it was about robots-which every little boy loved at the time.
3- What influenced you to get into music?
When we moved into a new house when I was about 6, the previous owners left an upright grand piano in the basement (imagine trying to get that up stairs to move!) I started banging around on it and my parents decided that I needed to learn to play it properly, so I took a few years of lessons.
Later, in 5th grade I was voluntold into joining the school band. I chose the drums because it was the only instrument in the band
