Being a lifestyle and passion of mine this has been a major part of my life. The best places that I have traveled/lived would be in the Western Coast. Washington, Oregon, and California have been some of the most interesting areas I have had the fortune to live in. Also, Texas is overrated.

I am a tactile learner. This means that I learn best by touching and doing. Two things that I can do to learn better would be using flashcards and participating in hands-on activities.

Taking the steps to ensure that I would enroll into a public high-school. While this doesn't seem like a big accomplishment and really isn't, it has had an undeniable affect on my life. Things just wouldn't be the same if I hadn't.

One of my favorite musicians is Barns Courtney. The style of music I listen to the most is Rock, however I am not impartial to Indie, Alternative, or Blues. Other musicians I listen to are Liam Bailey, Arctic Monkeys, Creedence Cleerwater Revival, and a collection of smaller artists.

Barns Courtney Sparks a Hellfire with Debut Album 'The Attractions of Youth'

British indie-rock artist Barns Courtney is on fire with his debut album, The Attractions of Youth. Influenced by the likes of The Velvet Underground, David Bowie, Coldplay, and even poet Charles Bukowski, Barns Courtney is making waves with a gritty, vintage rock sound all his own. His modern anthems call to mind Mumford & Sons, Bishop Briggs, and The Shelters, with fierce, driving beats and powerful vocals.

It's easy to appreciate the Londoner's folk and blues-based rock, pervading all his music with a sense of deep, soulful honesty and rawness. The passion and urgency with which Courtney performs is unmistakable throughout The Attractions of Youth. An almost surprisingly deep voice paired with a roguish, rugged aesthetic lends well to Courtney's brand, both sonically and visually. With all the wild rebelliousness of Nirvana, he boldly and simply states, "I've got fire in my soul," on the track "Glitter & Gold."

The fiery rocker blazed onto the scene in February 2017 with The Dull Drums EP. All of the songs, including fan favorites "Fire," "Glitter & Gold," and "Hellfire," made it onto the full-length released today, Sept. 29. Newer singles in advance of his debut album included well-received "Golden Dandelions," "Never Let You Down," "Kicks," and "Champions."

Worth noting is Courtney's turbulent past within the music industry. Signed to his first label deal at only 14 years old, everything seemed to be looking up for the young artist and his band. However, as these things unfortunately often go, Courtney was dropped from Island Records before his first album was even released. After everything falling apart, the teen's trajectory in life felt aimless-until he scored his next chance with Virgin EMI. As the once-struggling artist shared, "All of the music [on the new album] is influenced by this angry, defiant, passionate plea to do something with music."

Admitting to hands-down loving live performances over studio recording, the soulful indie rocker is surely an electrifying live performer worth witnessing. Barns Courtney kicks off his fall 2017 North America tour in support of The Attractions of Youth on Oct. 2 in Toronto and ends in Los Angeles on Oct. 19- see all dates here and listen to the new album below:

A passion of mine is travel. I have traveled most of my life. Rarely spending more than two years in one state before moving to the next. I have seen thirty-ish states and I have lived in 9 for over half a year. I guess I would have to enjoy it since its such a major part of my life.

On the rare instances that I am stressed I usually just put it off until it is no longer a problem or forces me to make a decision to fix it. Outside of school you can find me hanging out with friends or out with family.
