Music Enthusiast
I'm a lead guitarist in an all girls rock band named Solar, and I sometimes make and compose my own music for the fun of it. I play the piano, the acoustic and electric guitar, but wanting to learn how to play the bass and the drums. I've been playing and making music from the age 7. I've performed the National Anthem at various events as a teen, and now majoring in the Bachelor Arts of Music Productions at the Virginia Commonwealth University.
