Besides being the name of one of my brother's dogs, Truj is my only real, rewarding hobby. Having been introduced to the joys of home recording by Tommy (aka Wasted Day Music) I have become pretty addicted to it.

My heroes are Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Layne Staley, Zakk Wylde and Bob Rock. Hmmmm, they'd probably make an amazing album........

I use a range of programs, Sonar 6, Cubase Sx3, FL7, Guitar Rig 2, Ampeg SVX and a vast array of VST plugins. I also have some 'real' compressors and gates and wot-have-you, the real ones you can touch with all the lights and knobs.

I use Ibanez guitars, Schecter Basses, Washburn acoustics and on the odd ocassion my Alesis SR-16 drum machine.
