Ian has been playing music since before he knew what music even was.&amp;nbsp; All he knew was that that spoon and that pot made a sound that shook his little musical genius into being, and it hasn't stopped since.&amp;nbsp; I have so much to share with you on here, so I will stop yammering and start sharing.&amp;nbsp; Follow him on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date on his shows, in person or virtual.&amp;nbsp; He has a website where you can buy his music and merch, and a YouTube channel where you will find a whole mess of videos, including the ones we chatted about during our conversation. Conveniently below! \ufeff And of course, Ian's appearance on &quot;Who Wants to be a Millionaire.&quot; He puts the 'Mental' in Mental Math.
