Summary

Music has always been my passion,as it allows the freedom to be genuinely creative. Whether I am creating for myself or helping others to achieve their creative goals, I 'm striving to achieve a long, proficient and fulfilling career in music. Music can be a gateway to so many opportunities in life, but where I hope it leads me, is towards a path in which I can help people through their struggles. From a very young age, my parents have instilled in me that it is my duty as a human to be philanthropic and help others. I know that music helps people everyday with issues that may be burdensome to them, so I aspire to be a part of an industry which creates music that helps to heal people and sway emotions.

Co-Founder

Kids For Laos Orphans
Los Angeles, CA
05.2013 - 12.2020
  • Co-founded a non profit 501(c)(3) organization with my two brothers, raising over $125,000 to build a dormitory that houses over 250 kids at the Nambark Orphanage in Nong Khiaw, Laos.
  • Additionally built two bathroom facilities for the Deak Kum Pa Orphanage, which offers hundreds of children a clean and modern washroom facility.
  • Oversaw the most recent project of installing 30 industrial fans and septic tanks for much needed quality improvements at the orphanage.
  • Partnered with Rustic Pathway (a student travel program that allows for kids to become community helpers and global citizens), and featured in Bisnow Magazine commercial real estate news source that reaches more than 11 million readers as Partner of the Month.

This experience allowed me to grow my knowledge for how much of the world works. So many people live without even a roof over their heads. The people we've helped have limited access to, and barely any resources for, clean water and food for their tables as well as a safe place to sleep at night. My appreciation for all the things I have been afforded in life has increased immensely after my experience in Laos. I have a new understanding of what it means to be grateful and I want to spread this knowledge and experience to as many people as possible so that everyone can be more aware of how fortunate they are and inspired to also help those who are truly in need.
