How I got into music: I grew up in Georgia and was put in piano lessons at the ripe age of four. My dad hoped that music would be a side endeavor; he did not anticipate that I would be taken over by music and what it has to offer. 

10 years old: started teaching myself guitar upside down on my dad's left-handed guitar 

11 years old: I was gifted a right-handed guitar and started songwriting

12 years old: I began learning the flute in my school band

14 years old: I figured out the rinse and repeat of the piano competition circuit was not for me, so I quit lessons with my teacher and started focusing on ear training and composition by myself. I started developing a relative pitch.

17 years old: I started producing music and invested in Logic.

18 years old: With zero teaching or job qualifications, I managed to secure a job as a music teacher at Bach to Rock Music School. I taught piano, guitar, ukulele, and songwriting classes. I met many teachers, many of whom had years in the music business; talking to them sparked an increased interest in this industry

19 years old: became DJ certified at my college radio and started hosting my own show; wrote, produced, and released my first song 

20 years old:  Worked at my first Major music festival, interned at Warner Brother Discovery (helped in the advertising process of the company's highest-grossing movie -Barbie!), and started interning as a producer assistant at two recording studios
