    I was raised in the Church and got exposed to music in that way. Mostly worship music. But in high school I took a guitar class as an elective and it really opened up my world. I started to listen to all different kinds of music. Including indie rock, folk, R&b. Some of my favorite artists were Amy Winehouse, John Mayer, Katfish and the bottlemen. For me I fell in love with the peaceful feeling music brought me. So I kept playing and playing. I wasn’t very good in the beginning (I have videos on YouTube back from when I was 15 but they are on private.) it’s become my passion because I love how music is a universal language. It helps connects us all I think that’s super beautiful.
