About Me |
|
Since 1975; from Waukegan ILL; (a suburb of Chicago) Vernon recieved his first guitar on his 9th birthday from his late Grandmother Rose who believed it was well deserved after making one out of cardboard and yarn. He soon began taking guitar lessons from world renowned Jazz player "Billy Martin" in which he will forever be grateful. For the next 7 to 9 years, he practiced daily; hours on end, until his fingers were raw or just literally bleeding. Passing on a full paid scholarship to Berkley in 1984, he headed straight to the studio and began recording with the band Phenomenon. One of the songs recorded "VICTORIOUS" was then entered into the "BLISTERING LEADS CONTEST" on the then national radio station "Z Rock" out of Dallas TX. They won first place in the contest. Vernon has played with many different kinds of bands and well respected musicians alike. Some bands he has plyed in include, DISORDER; HABITUAL RITUAL; ENERGY VAMPIRES; and WINTERKILL; who were managed by Chuck Giovanni/EYES OF MARCH and Jim Pedric/SURVIVER.
