"Music is an important essence of life! Whether you believe it or not everyone loves music. The world is full of music from the birds singing in the trees, to the wind blowing on a sunny day, or to your favorite song tune whether it be a ringtone or music from your radio. I decided at the age 9 to get a better understanding of beats and rhythms and by my junior year of high school, thinking about my future, what better else thing to study and make a living off of than MUSIC!"
