Music Production and Recording
Music has always held a special place in my life, I played guitar from ages 7 to 10, and then played alto and baritone saxophone from Grade 5 to Grade 8. Eventually finding myself in jazz band in Grade 8. After stepping away from band (and playing instruments in general) to focus on film, It wasn't until I was 18- almost graduated from high school, that I discovered music production and beat-making. It reinvigorated my love for music, and the rest is history. I've been making beats ever since and I hope to one day make it apart of my career!
