George S. W. DuBose

George DuBose was born in Rabat, Morocco, to a US Marine major and his 19 year old bride. At two months, George returned to the US with his mother and began a life of frequent relocations. He never went to the same school for more than two years.

This constant moving with his family broadened his exposure to the various culture styles across the USA.

Growing up listening to Top 10 radio with his seven transistor radio under his pillow, George developed an early interest in popular music. When the Beatles broke out in 1964, his interest in music deepened and he began to study guitar. A few years later, George was in a cover band with other boys from the neighborhood and when he taught the drummer the chords to the popular song "Gloria", he was astounded when six months later, the drummer was playing Jimi Hendrix note for note.

He became aware of what "talent" was and clearly the drummer had more musical talent than George and George was inspired to look for his talent somewhere else...

George had in interest in art, his maternal grandmother was a professional illustrator and George enjoyed his high school and college art classes quite a bit. It became clear to him that he inspired by realism, but didn't have the patience to render images to his satisfaction.
