Q. Why did you become a professional musician?
A. In 2020, I embarked on a musical journey that would reshape my life in ways I never expected. Like many, the quarantine period brought unexpected challenges, but it also provided an opportunity for self-reflection and the exploration of new passions. It was during this time that I decided to teach myself how to play the guitar, setting the foundation for what would become a deeply fulfilling career.
Though music had always been a part of my life in some form, it wasn’t until 2020 that I fully embraced it. With the world slowing down, I found myself drawn to the guitar and songwriting, something I had always been intrigued by but never had the time to pursue. Through dedication and countless hours of practice, I quickly discovered a deep love for both performing and creating music. The process of learning how to play, discovering my voice, and expressing myself through song became an essential part of my life.
Since then, I have had the privilege of performing over 500 shows, each experience reinforcing my passion for live music and connecting with audiences. Whether performing in intimate venues or larger stages, the energy of sharing my music with others continues to drive me forward. My love for songwriting also flourished during this time, as I found immense satisfaction in crafting lyrics and melodies that resonated with both myself and those who heard them.
Ultimately, my musical journey is about more than just playing songs—it’s about sharing my talent, my story, and my heart with others. Every performance is a reminder of why I started: to connect, inspire, and bring people together through music. The road ahead is filled with exciting possibilities, and I look forward to continuing to grow as an artist and performer while sharing my passion with the world.
