“I started writing songs when I was real young, when I was 3 years old....” — Ian Axel Quote

“I started writing songs when I was real young, when I was 3 years old. The piano spoke to me - I don't remember when I wasn't playing piano. My second grade talent show was the first time I performed my own thing. I dressed up as Dracula and played a song called 'Monster Rock' that I wrote. And I won.”

“I feel that when Chad is in the room, I can tap into this other thing where music comes from. I don't know. It's just this really magical, special connection and relationship.”

“When you're listening to the radio, you're hearing dance beats, all the bells and whistles, and 'Say Something' makes you quiet and forces you to listen.”

“I feel like I'm Dracula, dude, like, um... Nosferatu, you know.”

“I read 'Dracula' in high school. I've been around vampires forever.”

“Frankenstein' was more programmed, but 'Dracula' we did as it came along because at the beginning we weren't sure how it was going to end - it wasn't written in the script.”
