Aaron Spaulding-RossAlbany Recording Connection

Major: Audio Engineering

I grew up in western New York, and lived there until I was 9. At age 9 I moved to California with my family, lived there a couple years, and then moved to Hawaii, and lived there a couple years, and finally moved to Oregon, where I am still currently living. I\'ve always been interested in music, and started out playing a Djembe when I was pretty young.

When I was 13 I got my first drum set and have been playing drums ever since. I have been in many bands, and also attended a music school called Musicafe Rock School, where I was in my first band. In the Rock School we would have a concert once every quarter. I have been in a few battle of the bands, and I remember a memorable one was in Mollala Oregon. We won first place, and one of the drummers from another band in the competition gave me one of his cymbals and a hat.

I have had a few jobs, mainly manual labor. My first real job was working at a gas station pumping gas. I also worked at a canning factory called Norpac Foods inc. I have also worked for my dad, when he had his construction company. My most recent job was working in a kitchen doing food prep. and washing dishes. I also did maintenance work and landscaping for the same company.

My hobbies are, playing video games, playing music, working on and running rc cars sometimes, and skateboarding.
