My interest in music first began at the age of five. I would spend hours listening to music I found in old CD's. As a kid, I always thought the concept of writing and performing music fascinating though I never imagined myself actually trying it out in the future. At the age of nine, my parents let me sign up for violin classes in my elementary school. Even though I was getting to a proficient level, I didn’t see myself building a career around music. But around the age of twelve I began to understand what I wanted to do with music. After listening to Anamanaguchi’s ep album “Dawn Metropolis” one night, I knew I wanted to become an electronic musician. I began to research music genres, softwares, and basic music theory to help me make music. I first began writing music using trackers. By the end of middle school, I took a break from writing music and focused on learning music theory. During my time in highschool, I was the orchestra’s section leader for four years and concertmaster for three years. I also joined the SBCUSD honor orchestra for four years. By the time I made it to my senior year, I picked up the piano and guitar. I received lessons from my high school band director and from Teen Music Workshop. Not only that but I began to write music again by the end of 2019 this time with new softwares like FL Studio. In 2020, I enrolled in California State University as BA in music while working on my minor in music technology. I'm currently working on tracks and projects and perfecting my skills and techniques in production.
