I am a current student at California Institute of the Arts majoring in Music as a Performer/Composer.
I started music with piano lessons at 8 years old and excelled immensely for three years until I quit piano lessons to self-teach myself electric guitar. I have never had a lesson for guitar, yet I auditioned in January 2018 at CalArts by covering a mashup of three guitar solos from Guns N Roses. I was accepted and plan to graduate in the next few years.
I started playing bass as I started school at CalArts in August 2018. My skills for bass improved quite quickly (due to me having played guitar for 6 years by then).
I can cover most Guns N’ Roses songs on guitar, bass, and some of the songs with pianos.
