He said in an interview, “I still remember the day when I was at UCLA working on my doctorate in comparative literature and my friend informed me that The Smashing Pumpkins were looking for a guitar player. As a huge fan of this brand, I worked hard to get into the audition and I think it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.”

He recalled the countless memories he made over the last 16 years working with a band which was my dream. Although it was a very difficult decision to make, I have decided to bid farewell to make some space to explore a slightly different path.
