Emmanuel Cárdenas

I have been playing the trumpet since I was six years old; I am 18 now. I was first introduced to Mariachi playing and singing when I first began playing the trumpet. Even though I don't look it I am 100% Mexicano from Jalsico; la tierra del mariachi. In the past I have performed with the Huntington Beach Union High School District Honor Band, my school's advanced Wind Ensemble, at my church, and with the Pacific Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble. I currently attend Cal State University Long Beach studying Aerospace Engineering and minor in electrical engineering. It's the space technology that intrigues me and the music that drives my soul.
