with people through music. Moreover, I love the process of drawing inspiration out of one’s personal experience and the ability to share those emotions
with all kinds of people.

Slide 10 – “Stay Tight to Your Dreams”
Potential is key in the development of a successful musician, but using it to make one grow can only be achieved through perseverance. A musician
requires patience, a spirit able to accept rejection, and a mentality set to keep trying and learning even after initial negative responses. Patience being a
mainstay in keeping control of my life, I listen to constructive criticism and strive to achieve the mark.
