Troy Braunstein was 7 years old when he picked up his first guitar—belonging to his Gypsy Jazz-playing grandfather, but it wasn't until his Stepdad gifted him a Fender Squier guitar and a four track tape recorder at age 12 that he got hooked on playing and trying to write music of his own. He moved to L.A. from San Diego at 18 to pursue music full time. While working his way up through the L.A. music scene over the next 7 years, Braunstein produced and wrote songs with several platinum artists, formed and played with the rock-and-roll outfits The Toy Guns and The Hollow Suns, and wrote and recorded music for various films and commercials, such as George Clooney’s Casamigos brand tequila. After damaging his voice, Braunstein stepped back for almost two years to get healthy and write—culminating in the launch of his debut solo project, which mixes the garage-rock flair of his previous bands with hints of 70s punk and rock-and- roll, early 90s and 00s alternative and grunge, and acoustic indie-rock. All songwriting, Instrumentation, and recording is done by him at his apartment.
