He has also played in the bands The Dreaming, Amen, The Drastics, and Team Cybergeist.[1][2][3][4] He got his first guitar when he was two, and started playing live shows with his father at the age of eight.[1] He is heavily influenced by classical music and classical composers, such as Bach and Beethoven.[2] The first album he ever owned was Metallica's fourth album, ...And Justice for All, and he learned every track from start to finish.[5] On June 21, 2011, Jinxx proposed to his girlfriend Sammi Doll, and announced via Twitter that she said "yes" and that they are now engaged.
