Starting off on a brass trumpet his 8th grade year, Aaron began his music career later than the rest of Dissonance, but is equally as passionate about it. Picking up a guitar a year and a half ago was a great step in the path of musical enlightenment. Great influences upon him include: Hoobastank, Incubus, the Eagles, the Beatles, AudioSlave, Soundgarden,(*Chris Cornell) and innumerable others.
