Story

When I was a young adult, I enrolled in a music program at the University. It took one semester to show me I knew nothing about music. I graduated from another program and pursued another career. Then after a generation, my values changed. I decided to learn music and pursued educating myself. I made some lifestyle changes, acquired two Graduate degrees and I was certified as a Modern Musician from the program at Berklee School of Music. I have been composing and arranging my music for the past five years. I have brought together my life experiences to create songs to enhance the lives of people, who need encouragement to pursue their aspirations.
