I honestly don’t know where I would be or what I would be doing if I wasn’t involved with music. Ever since I was a little kid singing has been a big part of my life, and it became even bigger when I learned the guitar. Through music I have made lifelong friendships and I’ve been introduced to some incredible people. Music is something that I can picture being a factor throughout the rest of my life. My dad was a drummer and had a lot of music throughout his life, so he and my mom loved listening to music with me when I was growing up. When I was 8, I met my guitar teacher Scotty whose passion for music inspired me to love it even more.

Music is everything. I have been immersed in it since I was a child. When I came home my parents made me do as much practicing musically as I did school work. After a while I just started to love it on my own and from there things took off. I did it just for the love of it at first. But as the role of adulthood became more apparent I couldn’t think of anything else I wanted to do professionally other than music. Now My goal is to become a professional musician and make a living doing what I love

My parents put a Bass in my hands when I was 7. They also had me in choirs and Hult Center performances constantly. With that much experience at a young age I grew to love music. I changed to playing guitar at 11 and from that sparked a drive that led me to practice harder at music than anything else. It had always been easy for me to pick up something and play it
