I discovered music around toddler age, and I was a climber. I climbed right onto the piano bench and started learning the sounds and making my own music. What inspired me most about playing music was sound in general. The second I realized I could create my own sounds, simply by pushing keys, I fell in love with it. I was obsessed. I saved for two years for a guitar and started teaching myself. One of the first few songs I learned was “Nothing Else Matters” by Metallica, which greatly inspired me, and learning these instruments became my best form of expression later in life.

My first band started in sophomore year of high school. I played rhythm and lead guitar, sang, and wrote music. This experience pushed me to continue writing my own music to this day, and I learned how to record and produce albums for myself instead of relying on a studio to help. I simply have so much music to share, and I love pushing my students to get creative and fall in love with music as I have.
