ABOUT

It seems like every year that I grow, my love for music grows with me. Since a young age, my mother has exposed me instrumental jazz and blues. In the mornings, when she drove me to school, we always listened to jazz radio station and it felt as if I was in paradise. That provoked my decision to attend an after-class music school. Initially, my major was saxophone- the course I have attended for three years, however, the diploma also required me to take piano, music theory, and choir. Along with choir classes, I had individual singing lessons that strengthened my interests in vocal performance. I have never graduated the music school, primarily because in 2012 we moved to the United States. At the time I was 13 years old. That was also the time when I picked up some guitar. I have had a long break from music since then. Last year, when I turned 17, I have decided to return to my music passion. As of now, I am playing guitar, occasionally piano, and strongly focus on improving my vocals. I would love to work with anyone interested in jazz, ska, blues, or any other type of music and would like to experiment.
