Arty - I heard Metal and wanted to play it and one day I got around to doing it.
Jas - I started music in elementary school, and as far back as I can remember I always wanted to be in a Hardcore band.
Tom - Playing music was an excuse to hang out with my friends and as I grew up I just grew really attached to making music.
