If you are interested, a little of my story
For as long as I can remember, I have loved music. Listening, playing, recording, watching, all of it. Like so many others my music career started early, when I was very young, playing small instruments, toy drums, recorders, or whatever was available. Singing along to movies and videos. Then I joined band in school where I studied the trombone. Improving my skills and expanding my knowledge in symphonic and concert band. In 2015 I joined a steel drum and percussion group called Strike Percussion Ensemble. I would learn how to play several instruments including, steel drums, bass pans, and tyco drums. All these different styles of music and instruments have influenced my style and taste. I have been told, when it comes to my music, I have an old soul.
However, my musical preferences are hard to label. The list of artists I have enjoyed listening to over the years is long and diverse. My musical journey has taken me to such places as Graceland, The Johnny Cash Museum, Sun Studio, Hard Rock Hotel, Stax Museum, Beale Street, and the birth place of Elvis, Tupelo, Mississippi. I am a huge fan of live music and have attended several concerts throughout the years including Def Leapord, Tesla, Mac Saturn, Jason Aldean, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Brynn Cartelli, Blue Man Group, Loverboy, Styx, Kelly Clarkson, Kelsea Ballerini, Journey, Poison, REO Speedwagon, Everclear, Collective Soul, and of course All Shook Up an Elvis tribute.
One Christmas I was gifted an acoustic guitar and soon found myself looking at a different course in my music career. I would soon purchase a bass guitar, and start the process of learning to play these string instruments. That was followed by an electric guitar and shortly after a keyboard. I would spend hours learning and playing. I was having so much fun.
When my high school career was coming to an end, there was a lot of uncertainty about my future and what career I would pursue. One day I was thinking, how fun would it be to play songs live, record them, and let other people listen to them. My parents encouraged me to follow my dreams and that is what brought me here and to this life choice. These videos are so much fun and I am so grateful that I can continue to play music. I hope that they bring you even a small amount of joy, because for me, it is the best thing I could ever imagine doing.
