Andy Taylor

> "*Being the best at sports was never my goal in my life. I always wanted to be more than an athlete or a jock stereotype, so I completely flipped the script and took up music instead. I found a passion like never before and I'm really fucking good at it. It helped me express my emotions when I felt I could not turn to anyone else. Music will always be my backbone and I'm going to keep growing to provide for my kids someday. So either way you look at life, I win.*"
