Danny Jack of The Danny Jack Fiasco on Music and Arts Education

How did you get into making music, and how did arts education (or lack thereof) affect you and your music?

I started playing music when I was about 14. I got my first electric guitar and was hooked on Nirvana. A couple years later, I moved to the acoustic guitar and started actually writing original songs with that and have been ever since. Music education wasn’t really a focus for me. I primarily played songs on guitar by ear or by trial and error. However, I took every art class offered and that was my form of creative expression in school.
