Three days after his 18th birthday, Monty was diagnosed with testicular cancer. While undergoing treatment, he spent the next months bedridden and in constant pain. It was during this time that Monty's musical abilities emerged.
One day, after radiation therapy, Monty picked up an old classical guitar and started strumming. He soon realized that the vibrations from the body of the guitar soothed the stomach pain caused by his ongoing treatment. Monty began playing everyday and eventually wrote his first song.
