This is a relatively bland autobiography of me; Ian Fisher. In case you were wondering, yes this is written in the third-person perspective and yes I do feel very pompous and hate doing this sort of thing, so bare with me. Thank you!

Ian Fisher is a touring singer/songwriter with his roots in Mid-Western America. From an early age he was interested in music, but it wasn't till he picked up a bass guitar and started singing at the age of 13 that his once mere interest was transformed into his life and passion. He soon switched to electric guitar and started a band with some grade school friends in his hometown of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. With names such as Sideburns Magoo and Brothers from Different Mothers, his early bands would play Green Day, Weezer, Pink Floyd, and Nirvana covers in his parents' basement and occasionally at high school dances. From very early on Ian started writing his own songs. Though the band would perform some of his songs, Ian began to take his work more seriously after it broke up when he was 17. From then on Ian would focus mostly on his solo career, but would make several exceptions for a Beatles cover band here and there, in which he would always be George. In 2006 he began recording at the studio of Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, because his friends were studying audio-engineering and offered to record his album for free. From those sessions came his first "professional" album, Invasions, and half of his first album with a band, Stained Glass. In the mean time he played dozens of shows around Missouri and wrote many new songs, which were mostly about political and social issues. In the summer of 2008 he went on a nation wide tour with the very politically-minded band Holy!Holy!Holy!, finished recording the album Stained Glass, and recorded his second acoustic album, Pawn Heart. That fall he moved to Europe and began playing shows all over Austria and Germany, often supporting or joining some of the most popular Austrian independent bands, such as A Life, A Song, A Cigarette and Bernhard Eder. Finally, in the spring of 2009 he released Stained Glass. Before the release of Stained Glass he already started work on his fourth album, Vienna You White Moon, which is set to be released sometime in 2009.
