Music Production/Songwriting
Writing from a young age helped craft me into a better adult. It made me emotionally mature and able to express and communicate effectively. Storytelling became my forte. I sang on stage by myself for the first time in front of hundreds of people at eight years old. At eleven, I started singing for Bethany Church's kids ministry. At twelve, I released my first song on all platforms. Now, I write to be a better me.
Additional Information
I work my hardest to do everything with excellence and never leave something half done. I will always go above and beyond to make something perfect. I love the skills I've crafted, and could make billions of dollars today, but still want to come to work tomorrow.
