Growing up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, English spent most of his youth playing soccer, writing songs and learning how to play instruments such as the piano, trumpet, drums and guitar. His parents stressed music education for which he is very thankful. English mainly works out of PWZ Custom Recordings, his music studios in Los Angeles, California, and Nashville, Tennessee. English began his career as a musician at the age of 19 when his band
