A lifelong musician, he spent years playing bass guitar in various bands, a passion that led him to collaborate with his cousins to help produce several songs. His musical tastes were bold and eclectic; he was a die-hard heavy metal fan, with Pantera holding a special place in his heart, but he also had a deep appreciation for the raw storytelling of outlaw country.
