Music
Music has always been a part of my life. Music when enjoyed, to me is a universal language that we interpret in our own way yet we connect together as one. I myself took interest to the drums at age 10 and have not stopped since. Having been in multiple music groups I have always enjoyed performing and creating an experience for people to enjoy. With my first group starting at age 15 we ere die hards for punk music and putting on our own shows with rosters of other bands in the local town halls. Although on the more reserved side, I would play as accompaniment to a restaurant trio by age 17 for tips and dinner. With songs from Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, and The Grateful Dead, guests would often get up from dinner to come dance for our music. Finally comes my most recent musical group GDH where in a short amount of time had a local following, produced music on Spotify, and even gained regular airtime on the towns local television and radio stations. Music is an extension of who I am allowing my passion to drive the rhythm of my hands and feet.
