I was introduced to and surrounded by music very early in my life. Growing up, my father always played the classics (they probably weren't at the time though..lol) from Stevie Wonder to Jimi Hendrix. He also played the flute all the time and I loved listening. At about the age of 6 years old my parents enrolled me in piano school. That was one of the best things they could have done for me. Even though I only went for a certain amount of years, the experience of me making music was fascinating to me and I wouldn't mind taking lessons again. During my teenage years I began rapping. Eager to make my own original tracks, I used the skills I learned from my piano lessons to make my own beats. That love and passion grew into a beautiful hobby that led to me attending Five Towns College and eventually building a home recording studio.
