It was Christmas morning and my sister had just opened a new acoustic guitar and I was jealous. I was ten years old and I knew at that moment I had to play it. It started out with me constantly bugging my older sister to teach me all the songs she was learning. For the most part I am self taught but I went to World Music for two years and Rock Nation for three years. I began writing instrumentals and was heavily influenced by Iron Maiden, I was somewhat of a metalhead. I auditioned for GRAMMY Camp and was accepted into the camp during 2010 at Los Angeles through a scholarship by the Les Paul Foundation. During that same year the GRAMMY Foundation allowed a few campers to perform at the Starry Night at UCLA with Keith Urban and my music tastes changed overnight. In 2011-2012 I was accepted into the camp again as a Singer/ Songwriter for New York and Nashville. For the past four years I have been mentored by Sergio Gonzalez, and without his patience and help I would not be where I am today. I have been endorsed by Taylor Guitars, Line 6 for three years and Timber Tones for two. It is almost nine years since I picked up that guitar and I love it everyday.
