St. Ayre is a music freak. Brought up on Blues, Psychedelia, and Country, he came of age during the Metal explosion of the 80's. Secretly, he listened to a lot of 80's dance and pop as well. During the late 80's he fronted several bands that went nowhere for a lot of reasons. In the early 90's, industrial was discovered and bathed in, as was a great deal of goth and new age. He still hates loathes and despises grunge. He is also very opinionated, and can be an asshole to work with, which is why he is a solo kind of guy.
