Personal  Story  I  started  playing  music  at  an  early  age.  I  got  my  first  guitar  when  I  was  four  years  old.  A  bit  later,  a  piano  was  introduced  into  the  house,  and  I  enjoyed  figuring  out  songs  on  it  as  well.

Personal  Development  (cont.)  I’m  drawn  to  making  music  with  what  I  call  audible  integrity.  Audible  integrity  is  making  meaningful  and  honest  music  that  helps  people.

Personal  Development  (cont.)  I  developed  a  belief  that  music  has  the  ability  to  save  people.  I’ve  seen  it  in  the  ones  close  to  me  and  I’ve  felt  it  through  my  own  experiences.

Personal  Development  I  started  studying  the  guitar  seriously  in  middle  school.  I  would  spend  hours  prac7cing,  eventually  teaching  myself  songs  by  ear  outside  of  my  lessons.

Personal  Development  (cont.)  Later  on,  I  became  interested  in  other  instruments.  I  began  branching  out  to  bass,  piano,  harmonica,  and  most  recently,  drums.

Personal  Development  (cont.)  I  am  very  influenced  by  any  kind  of  music  and  media  I  can  get  my  hands  on.  No  maRer  the  genre  or  style,  I  love  it  as  long  as  it’s  honest.    Some  influences  are  bigger  than  others,  though  I  s7ll  like  to  crea7vely  draw  from  whatever  appeals  to  me.

Personal  Development  (cont.)  Instead  of  staying  restricted  inside  of  a  genre,  I  like  to  just  make  the  music  I  make  with  the  influences  I  have,  and  let  it  be  what  it  comes  to  be.
