▲The idea was born in the summer of [[2004]] when guitarist Damion Waters and bassist [[Dan McLintock]] (also see: [[Inspection 12]]) began writing together for their then unnamed project. Following the conception of several songs, the two began recording ideas; slowly piecing guitar parts and vocal harmonies together on Damion's home computer. At the time, both members resided and attended college in separate cities, so meetings were few and far between. Five acoustic demos are known to exist from those early sessions.
Originally planning to try life as a three-piece, Sensei was pleasantly surprised with the chance addition of lead vocalist Mark O'Quinn and second guitarist, Eric Denton. Since solidifying the new roster, Sensei has progressed more than ever; boasting
▲Eventually, Dan and Damion enlisted the help of life-long friend and drummer, [[Tim Grisnik]] (also see: [[Inspection 12]]); who was given the demos and and began writing drums for the already existing songs. Following the addition of bassist, Jordan Pettinghill, the line-up was finally complete, and the band was given its name. Appearing live for the first time in the fall of [[2005]], Sensei attracted immediate local attention, building an organic following of fans and friends. Around the same time, Dan, Damion, and Tim moved into a house together on the eastside of [[Jacksonville]], enabling collaborative writing and convenient practices.
As of May 2007 Sensei has dissolved with most of its members pursuing different projects.
▲The next few months would prove somewhat dormant and discouraging. Though the band still performed occasionally, it became increasingly difficult to schedule practices and shows around Jordan, who was still attending college more than outside an hour outside of [[Jacksonville]]. Consequently, in the summer of [[2006]], the band felt it best to relinquish the bassist of his duties, allowing Jordan to focus on school as well as devote more time to his other musical en devours.
▲Originally planning to try life as a three-piece, Sensei was pleasantly surprised with the chance addition of lead vocalist Mark O'Quinn and second guitarist, Eric Denton. Since solidifying the new roster, Sensei has progressed more than ever; boasting a slew of completed songs. As for the future, the band plans to enter the studio and have music to share by the Spring of [[2007]].
