Kurtis dabbled in a couple of bands throughout highschool to no avail, and eventually started writing and recording his own acoustic work. Trying to form his own band after high school ended up not working out. After paying close attention to Giv'R and being their main photographer for a while, Kurtis ended up joining the band on bass guitar after Colin left the band. After a few people leaving here and there, Kurtis is now playing guitar for Giv'R.
