I started playing cello when I was in 3rd grade, as part of a school requirement. Thankfully, it wasn’t long before the music bug truly bit me. I credit YouTube, books, my family’s encouragement, and boredom with being responsible for learning 6+ instruments by the end of high school. While learning instruments, I began voice lessons in high school, and have kept them up ever since.
I started giving guitar lessons in college, and helped classmates learn music theory. This lead to making my own accompaniment tracks and notating my own arrangements to songs for some extra cash. At the same time, I began seriously songwriting and composing, and posting my work on YouTube.
