"My name is Hayden Channing. I'm twenty-two and I play drums for the band Hot Seekers. Weren't you supposed to know that? You're interviewing me and all..." "RIGHT RIGHT, SORRY. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." "Well, I'm pretty go get 'em. When I want something I don't stop until I get it, I'm determined you could say. I also go non-strop. I've constantly got this energy that never seems to burn out. I'm built for the road baby. I'm not trying to brag, but I'm decent with the ladies. You can't deny the truth right? I'm all about the truth. I hate liars and I hate sugar coating stuff. I'd like to say I'm generally a good guy. I think I'm nice to people and I've got a positive attitude. Nothing really upsets me, I'm mostly relaxed. I probably have a bigger ego than I should.. but can you blame me? My life is fucking fantastic and everything usually goes according to my plan. Shit, I mean I'm not that bad. I'm not a huge conceited jerk. I'd say mildly narcissistic. You're probably waiting for me to tell you I'm bipolar right? You caught me, but I'm not crazy. I was diagnosed awhile ago, I've got it all under control now. No worries. I'd say I'm kinda spontaneous. I'll drop everything for a laugh or if some one needs me. " "INTERESTING! WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU SAID YOU COME FROM?" "Just about everywhere really. My dad is a military man. My family has been moving around for a long time. I've lived in California, Ohio, North Carolina, even Alaska for a couple of months. I spent most of my childhood in California and Ohio. I liked it a lot, the beaches in Cali are fantastic. I actually picked up surfing and skim-boarding a little bit. Ohio was hell compared to California. I love the water, so being land-locked isn't exactly fun and games for me. Anyway, traveling is apart of who I am. My old man finally retired in Austin, Texas during the middle of my 9th grade year. I guess he decided to settle down there because both of my extended family lives there. It's whatever, I'm a road warrior.. so I couldn't care less where they live. Texas is alright I suppose, nothing like California for me. That's where I met the guys. There isn't much to it after that. We all shared a common interest in playing music and so Hot Seekers started. It's honestly the best thing that's ever happened to me. I live close to the label now, it just makes everything easier. " "WOW. SO WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOU LIKE?" "Haha, well don't get too excited, my days are mostly the same. I wake up early and go for a run before the day gets started. Gotta keep my manly figure, y'know. Typically I play a show and then hang out. Meet some new people, drink a beer or two and commence partying. Somewhere around 12 or 1 a.m. I hop on a bus and the vicious cycle starts again in a different place. I like it well enough. As boring as it sounds, I never get tired of it. You never know what you're going to see at a venue or on the road." "NICE. LAST QUESTION... WHY ARE YOU WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?" "I'm here because I want to be. There is no where else in the world I'd rather be, no other person I want to be. Everything I've worked for has finally payed off... as cheesy as it sounds I'm living the life I've dreamed about. I see myself touring for awhile. Hot Seekers isn't going to disappear for a long time. I guess a goal would be to run a marathon. That would be sick. I mean, if you're asking about the distant future.. I won't lie it would be nice to have a family. But I'm still young. I've got tons of living to do. I'm content in this moment. " "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?" "Keep supporting us!" hey there, the name's jess. i live in the eastern time zone and this is my first character.
