Random Facts!

Nonge was born in upstate South Carolina and raised with music as always a part of his life. Early on he developed an appreciation for classical and jazz, and as a teen discovered rock and alternative. By 6 Nonge was singing with his family, and learning to play drums. At 15, Nonge got his first guitar .... a Peavey T-30 electric. Nonge started taking lessons and immediately started writing. He and some friends started a band called "Prodigal", later changed to "Forgotten Legacy", in which he sang lead vocals, and played rhythm guitars. After the breakup of this band, Nonge and another friend started a band called "Bedlam Dirge", and sang lead vocals until it broke up. During this time he worked for a radio station for well over 4 years. Nonge then moved to Las Vegas, and found Second Life, and began DJing there. While in Vegas, he played guitar, drums, and base for various small groups, then joined as drummer for "One Year Wasted". Due to financial issues and family, Nonge then returned to South Carolina, where he decided to bring his music to Second Life Audiences. 

Nonge was forced to take a hiatus from SL for a few years due to family issues but has now returned with his signature sound, ready to entertain.
Nonge uses Norman and ESP Guitars, Digitech Processors, Alesis Sound Board & MCA Studio Mics
