Born and raised in Casper, Wyoming, Quinlan’s musical life began at a young age when he started attending performances from a local performing arts program named ArtCore. The constant exposure to performing arts eventually led to an expanding love for live music. Particularly in acoustic American Music. All which later inspired him to pursue his own career in performing.
After learning the banjo and guitar in his teens, Quinlan started writing his own songs and making his way as a professional musician. Listeners commonly relate his style to classic and traditional Folk music while still realizing his own character.
