Adrian Danon, 28, calls himself “a Jersey boy through and through,” having been raised near Montclair and now living in Jersey City. He told Jim Testa at NJ.com, “I started taking guitar lessons at 12 or 13 but wound up quitting at least a dozen times. I was so frustrated. My hands wouldn’t do what they were supposed to do. I just wasn’t getting it. And then one day it was just, `Eureka!’ It all fell into place. I started writing my own songs at around 17 or 18.”
