Born in dark times, Axl's talent was immediately evident. Hailing from a small town in rural New Zealand, Axl soon traveled to the big smoke of Auckland to pursue his dream to be the greatest guitar god of all time. in late 2006 he and two fellow dreamers, Kc Payne and Adman, created the legend known today as Paynekillaz. Axl was the creative spirit behind the name and image of the band. Later in his career a third member of Paynekillaz, Roopa Nova, was added inspiring a broader range of vocal abilities.
