About Me
2 Know Music is a music website that consists of band interviews, music news, and concert reviews. Zakk Wylde and Chad Lee have inspired me to build a website for music fans by a music fan. I have so much respect for those two and they have encouraged me to become a music journalist. In 2004, a friend of mine showed me Chad Lee’s work with Zakk and other artists. He takes some of the most amazing music photography I have ever seen. I started listening to all of Zakk’s music from his demo tapes for Ozzy to Pride and Glory to Black Label Society. Now I own every CD with Zakk including all of the special appearances, KnuckleBonz statue of Zakk, posters, shirts, and much more. I have seen Zakk everytime he has been to Arizona since 2004 and I have driven to California twice to see him play with Black Label and Ozzy. I met him at the Hard Rock Cafe in Phoenix on Feb. 5, 2007 (read about the the best day of my life here) and then again at Ozzfest ‘07. This site is for every musician and all the genres of music out there. I want to show the world the life, passion, and dreams of musicians. And thank you Chad Lee and Zakk Wylde for inspiring me to pursue my dream. Music is my life and my dream is to help the world experience all music.
