How music has shaped me into who i am:

Music has always been an integral part of who I am. Writing and playing music with my brother over the years has given me tools I’ll carry with me for life—tools like patience, attention to detail, and grounding. I’ve learned patience by allowing a song to tell its story before shutting it off, much like how life requires us to let a season fully unfold before giving up. Sometimes a song needs time to build momentum, and as the listener, I get to choose: will I sit with it, or skip ahead in search of the next catchy tune? I’ve developed attention to detail through songwriting and music theory. Studying the structure of songs—why some thrive in chaos while others require strict order—has deepened my curiosity and admiration for the brilliance of certain artists and producers. And most importantly, I’ve found grounding through simply sitting with the beauty of music. Life has thrown me plenty of roadblocks, and time and time again, one of the simplest and most effective ways for me to slow down is by playing a song that reflects how I feel, affirms my emotions through melody, or eases my anxiety with bold, poetic lyricism. Music, to me, is more than playing piano, singing, or discussing theory. Music is like a friend.
