Welcome back to Bringin' It Backwards, the podcast where we dig deep into the journeys that turned aspiring artists into legends—and where you get the inside story, straight from the source. On this episode, host Adam Lisicky sits down with Waylon Reavis of A Killer's Confession, a voice you might recognize from his iconic run fronting Mushroomhead.
Waylon opens up about growing up in rural North Carolina, where the dream of becoming a musician seemed out of reach—until a jam session with friends at 15 changed everything. He walks us through the hard-earned steps from garage band rookie to joining Mushroomhead, the battles to earn respect as the "new guy" in a legendary group, and the leap of faith required to forge his own path with A Killer's Confession.
In this raw, honest conversation, Waylon squashes rumors, shares candid advice for aspiring artists, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of A Killer's Confession's new concept album, Victim One—an ambitious, psychological exploration tied deeply to his own experiences. You'll hear the story of how the album came to life, from creative roadblocks to Easter eggs that connect to earlier records.
If you're an artist chasing your own breakthrough, or just love hearing what drives musicians past their toughest moments, this is a conversation you can't miss.
