 7. What made you want to become a musician? I have always loved music ever since I was a little kid. Growing up music helped me through a lot, and I didn’t really realize just how much I love music up until these past few years. I began playing guitar again after a three-year break and once I picked it up, I couldn’t put it back down. I finally got to a point where I was so comfortable with guitar that I decided to start singing with it and just messing around. I was always super nervous to sing Infront of people but with the help of my mom I gained confidence with my abilities. Once I gained that confidence, I realized just how much I love music, especially being able to play it myself. That feeling is what made me realize that I must be a musician because it is my passion, and I absolutely love how it feels to recreate and create music of your own.
