Kate Glock

With two parents who were into music when they were young, it was no surprise Kate became a musician. Her dad had a band where he played bass and her mom sang at school. Her father used to listen to a lot of various types of music in the car when she was a kid. ‘We travelled a lot, so I must have worked out some kind of taste in music back then and a general interest in it’. At the age of seven, Kate’s father bought a synthesizer which was put in her room. Where she would come up to it and press various keys, sometimes together which would make harmonies and that made her fascinated on how beautiful some of them sounded. So, she asked her parents to find her a music teacher.

Kate’s inspirations don’t come from only one genre. From Pop Rock bands like Savage Garden to Linkin Park and Evanescence. In later years she got into bands such as Disturbed, The Butterfly Effect and currently she is inspired by electronic music such as from Gary Numan.

In her spare time, Kate tries her hand at sculpting heads in scale of 1/6 of characters from various games, movies and tv shows. Kate also doesn’t mind hitting the gym occasionally, playing computer games, watching tv shows and going on long walks with her beautiful dog.

Jensen Rodolfo

Self-taught in playing guitar, Jensen never took music lessons when trying to figure out how to play. At the age of thirteen, he used to start learning how to play on his father’s guitar, which he used to play when he was younger. His early exposure to music came from his father’s collection of blue, rock and metal CDs which he found and used to play on an old CD player. Not until high school, Jensen started to take an interest in music. He played various talent shows playing covers from bands like Alter Bridge and Alice in Chains, and even played for this class in college.

Jensen’s inspirations mostly come from Metal and Hard Rock bands such as Alter Bridge, Creed, Sevendust, Tremonti and surprisingly Disco legends The Bee Gees. Later, he would be influenced by sub-genres such as Gothic Metal,Doom Metal and Symphonic Metal, including bands like Septicflesh, Candlemass, The River and Mercy Brown.

In his spare time, he mostly likes to listen to music and enjoys playing games in the Dragon Age franchise. Occasionally, he enjoys watching a good movie or book.
