LIAM ELLIS

Firstborn to a Broadway dancer and an Ivy-League-educated English teacher. You can imagine. I turned down a full-ride theater scholarship to study Anthropology and make music with my brother—in my mom and dad's basement. They loved it. We didn't. The curse of overly supportive parents? Nobody says no. So off we went, publishing 30+ ASCAP syncs across MTV and VH1 and sharing stages with bands like Walk the Moon.

Yeah, yeah, cool, cool — but…

Honestly, a part of me felt like I was cheating. Music was instinct, not training—I couldn't read it, couldn't write it, but there it was, inside me. And the scorekeeper in me wanted proof I could wield a skill I actually earned. So I set out to find the thing that had to be earned. It was time to code.
