I started getting into music 8 years ago. I started playing guitar 6 years ago—a few chords and learning from my uncles and cousins. And then I started singing four or five years ago. I used to watch my uncles playing and wanted to start playing. My cousins were listening to all kinds of rock and roll and I would watch all kinds of music videos and see Slash playing. My favorite right now is ACDC and I am really into old ‘50s rock and roll, and old country like hank Williams and Johnny Cash. I want to try and go to Florida for music, there is a school there called Full Sail. I want to go check it out.—Jonas Mackenzie is Inupiaq from Kaktovik, Alaska.
