My Passion
Music is my passion! I have been writing and performing my own music since I was 13 years old. I collaborate with other musicians and producers to create music that is meaningful and current. I work with videographers to create videos that visually represent my music. I'm looking forward to learning more about the music industry and finding new ways to pursue my passion.
