I’ve been playing violin since I was 8 years old but I started first to play piano when I was 5, because my mom’s family side is musically inclined so am I. In high school days, I understand that my teacher is busy with other stuffs but we haven’t continued our lessons for many years. What I did then was trying my best in self learning because I still love to make music until I reach the point where on my own, I was able to join famous orchestras for some exposures and have connections with popular musicians for more experiences even though I’m left behind. I realized that it’s not too late to cope up and it was the time that I felt closer to my dream, now I’m here.

I also want to share the talent and passion that God gave me so I studied and participated in music trainings for more knowledge but along the way, I find out that “every child can” as what Suzuki said. I planned then to teach little children so they can be disciplined as young as they are. But from what I see, it’s really hard to live in the Philippines because of poverty that’s why I’m willing to help people by creating a music school for those who can’t afford education. It would be a great way also to contribute for the development of the country.

Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church is where I actually maintained my musicality by performing violin solos actively. It is where my music journey grows as I begun to be known and be invited to different places. I dedicate all these achievements to my mom because she hasn’t able to reach the standard and quality of being an artist. So if you want to fly high and shine bright, don’t lose hope from insecurities because you don’t know that there are people whose very proud of you and looking up to you. Remember that we are here together to be happy.
