What’s your favorite part about music?

"As a musician, I really like challenging myself. I like playing pieces that are not beyond my level, but something that I can really catch on to, and it'll just be a challenge. It encourages me to keep pushing forward and keep practicing so I can get better. There's never a limit to how good I can get at a piece, there's always something I could work on. So that's why I am able to continue practicing and continue persevering and working at the song because it's challenging."

What’s DOES MUSIC MEAN TO YOU?

“(Music) is a safe escape. It started off as more of a hobby, but it grew into more of a passionate thing. Definitely in recent years, (the passion grew). I've always been interested in music, but I haven't started making my own music (until) the beginning of this school year. Whether there’s words to some of my songs or not, you can always know what I'm trying to portray with the attitude.”
