He's been playing the piano on and off since he was a kid. He took lessons for a couple of years, and the teacher told him he was better off learning on his own because he wouldn't practice what the teacher gave him, but would make up his own music. In high school, he formed a band with his friends. "I learned just enough of lots of instruments to play a few songs. I was like a lot of kids: I dreamed about being in a band and releasing a record. My high school band got asked to perform quite a bit at different functions, but then I decided I didn't want to do it professionally because it struck me as such an unconventional way of making a living. I just wanted a real normal life, and I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I kind of put it away," Breinholt said. At some point in college, Breinholt started playing the guitar for friends, and they responded enthusiastically. "That brought music back into my life, and I reconsidered it as a career. I've been a full-time musician since 1993, and that was the day I graduated from college," Breinholt said. A double-major graduate of USU in Spanish and political science, the self-taught musician recorded his first album and knew "that it was going to go somewhere," he said. The majority of Breinholt's songs are played on the acoustic guitar and some on the piano. Breinholt said, "I feel like I've been through all the music stages from folk, bluegrass and classic rock." His music is not only diverse in style, but it comes to him in different ways. "I prefer to keep it that way. I don't have a formula. The most common method for me is when I am messing around on my guitar, playing someone else's song for fun, and I will do a variation of it, and it triggers something," Breinholt said. As he writes and plays, he I See MUSIC, page 7 Aggies around the world I miss my family and my home I miss my family, I want to go home; I don't want to be forever alone.
