I started involvement in music at the young age of 7 years old. Coming from a family of multiple generations of musicians, music has always been, and will continue to be, the focal point of my life. I have played drum set for over 10 years in ensembles for school and honor bands, such as FMCMEA jazz ensemble. In 2022, I got a full scholarship to the Stanford Jazz Institute, and this granted me many important connections to other talented musicians. Since then, I've been honing my skills as a jazz drummer in college ensembles as well as learning to record and mix digital and live instruments through audio engineering and computer music production classes at Fresno City College, and making original compositions.
