Ralph is a guitarist, songwriter and composer. Currently a student Berklee School of Music since 2017. Seeking a Bachelor of Arts degree. Throughout my teenage years and adult life, I have played in countless cover and original bands. Anywhere I could find like-minded musicians.
I grew up at the dawn of the metal age, mesmerized by the great music of that era. I would listen to album rock radio for hours on end. Not coming from a well-off family, I spent my days hanging out at the local guitar shop reading lesson books off the rack and borrowing guitars off the walls. Begging for lessons from patrons when I heard them trying out guitars.
I was working odd jobs as soon as I was old enough. So, I could get enough money to buy my own guitar, amp and equipment — only to have my dad cut the power to my room when I cranked it up too loud. It was a struggle but I persevered. Playing and gigging with musicians twice my age.
