Villarreal took up the guitar at the age of 12, and played in several bands with Tim Kinsella, his childhood friend.[4][5] They performed as Cap'n Jazz, Owls and Joan of Arc.[6] Villarreal also had Joan of Arc bassist Erik Bocek perform in Villarreal's own group, Ghosts and Vodka. Having worked at a dog hospital, Villarreal later started a dog-training program called "Everything Canine."[7][8] Villarreal returned to making music after his brother died, releasing the albums, "Sleep Talk" and "Invisible Cinema" through Joyful Noise Recordings in Indianapolis.[1][9][4][10]
Villarreal often features cantaloupes in his music and album artwork. He has also said that he's influenced by Iron Maiden and Rush.[8]
