MUSIC

I grew up surrounded by music. It took me a few years to realize I could make it myself. I sang throughout life, but when I began my journey with the piano at seventeen, I was hooked. I play all kinds of music, by ear, and by notes. To me, it is the output that matters, and the way you tell the story and connect with others. Who cares how you absorbed or processed it?

I'm always learning something new. These days, piano is still my primary instrument, but I also dabble with the guitar and various other keyboard instruments too.

If you like what you hear, I'd appreciate a Follow or Like on YouTube, Instagram or Facebook. Thanks!
