| Ruggums & Co. in action! |
Ruggums is my penname, since it seems like the fun thing to do. Hello there, my name is Michael Rugg, most people call me Mike, some people call me Rugg, and a lot of people decide to use both of those at the same time, so you know, do as you will.
I've been playing guitar since about 2006. I learned how to play on my own and ever since I've picked it up, I've been passionate about it. Only recently have I started writing my own music, which you can find on SoundCloud. I play a lot more cover songs than I have my own music written, but it all has its own way of influencing me and my style.
I was born in the year 1992, on the first of August, in a small town in the middle of South Dakota called Mobridge. I never really stayed in one place for too long, however, as my mother moved all around town, and eventually between towns, but as far as I'm concerned Mobridge is my home. It's the place where I got my first guitar, learned my first songs, had my first love, all of that young kid jazz, and while I may not visit very often these days, all that's happened there stays with me.
As of now I am 23 years, with a lot more to learn about music and life, and I would like to think I try my hardest to embrace it as best I can. Life is a journey that isn't about the destination, and I'm doing my best to move forward every day.
