Many know that I have created Black Veil Brides, when I was very young. Like many teenagers, at the time I was going through some pretty intense feelings. I was sure that want, need and can do something more than what he could offer me my city. Yeah, I really wanted to be a rock star! Then I had no idea how difficult it is. But I knew I wanted this more than anything else. Besides, I thought that in addition to the characters from the comics, real heroes were musicians.
I spent countless hours sitting at home listening to the albums of various groups. For example, The Damned, Dead Boys, and Generation X. I Also loved to stick on the wall posters of different groups, whose image I sympathise, sometimes I even tried to do the same makeup. Some pieces, like the wrestling-rings, I did something like scene. A little later I started trying to do something like costumes. One day, I asked my father to write the way I sing songs, sitting in the room. This allowed me to listen and look at ourselves. I wanted to be a real frontman. In my mind used to hang out in one and the same thought: I know why he was born, I must and I will act!
When I had the chance to create a group, I wanted she was able to reflect the views and feelings of every teenager, the ones that have been experienced by me. Music and images for rogue, what are you looking for a way to escape from loneliness and sadness. I wanted to rebel against those who do not understand and condemn me for my views, not seeing who I really am. I just wanted to give Teens the support that I myself was never enough.
When Black Veil Brides was formed, I realized that you need to create your own image and style that would give Teens a source of strength and inspiration. I knew it must be something of a shield that will protect me from all the terrible things that people do and say. The fact that it would be larger than life.
For me thus became Andy Sixx.
Andy six is all what I missed in adolescence. Persistence and confidence. He supported those who needed help. He was exactly the person I wanted to be.
Thus, the court of 2011, I was sitting in my bus, I'm 20 years old and I'm the lead singer of Black Veil Brides. I travel all over the world, communicate with amazing people, making friends, encouraging fans. Black Veil Brides have created an army of teenagers and older people who rely on our creativity, who found strength in ourselves and in what we do.
Now Andy Sixx is not something that is stronger than me, and that doesn't belong to me. Thanks to you Andy Birsak became much stronger!. I got the chance to experience what we had dreamed all his life. I spoke with thousands of fans, we shared with each other their stories are often similar. I "verical" throat and lungs with you at concerts from Los Angeles to Tokyo, I tried to divide the heart with each of you in each of the written text. I admire your dedication. Thanks to you, I know that "Andy Sixx" I don't need to defend yourself. Thanks to my best friends to classmates, you - fans, I don't have anything to hide. But now our group is a shield for many of you, the one that so badly needed to me!
I - Andy Birsak, Andy Sixx now no more than a nickname. Something that will always remind me of where I came from.
