Profile
Goren was born in the Bronx on January 141975, but grew up in the town of Oreland, Pennsylvania. He played in several local bands as a youth. Then, in 1991, Goren joined the punk band Fracture. He played with them until 1995, when the band broke up. At the time, he was in the last year of earning his B.A. in neuroscience at Wesleyan University. While still in school, one of Goren's friends introduced him to music sequencers, and he began writing music with one in his spare time. Goren would also go on to earn a Master's degree in education from the University of Pennsylvania, and to become certified to teach high school chemistry and biology.
