Biography
Frederick T. Erskine began his foray into music at the age of four when he started learning to play violin. He began expanding his musical palette and soon picked up playing the piano until he settled on learning the trumpet when he was eight. In November 1987, Erskine had begun performing vocals for a punk band which led to him picking up the bass.[4]
