Bio

I just really want to make it in life and be able to provide for my family for all the things they've done for me. I never really had any set goals besides trying to return all the things they've worked so hard for to keep me happy when I was a kid. We love to brainstorm entrepreneurial business opportunities all the time and I'd really love to dedicate studying about business in order to help out with my parent's dream business. Aside from trying to help my family, I usually spend my time playing with my guitar and learning new songs, listening and hand picking music I really like (I love to study jazz music), I also love styling fashion for other people too as well as helping friends with their problems. This is just some stuff about me though.

      Music is one of the most profound and transformative forces in my life. It is both a sanctuary and a source of inspiration, a universal language that connects people across time and space. Listening to and creating music feels like a spiritual journey, opening doors to emotions and experiences I never knew existed. It’s remarkable how music can lift the soul, touch the heart, provide solace for millions. My love for music runs deep, not only for its emotional resonance but also for the way it inspires me to create my own art; something that began during one of the most challenging periods of my life. There's obviously so many studies on how music can easily manipulate our brains into feeling emotions, and as stated before, like many it provided comfort to me when I felt like I was alone and struggling. Fortunately, because of the worst moments in my life, it lead me to a new-found love I had for music, how beautiful and mesmerizing some of the songs I listened to were and the impact it had on me-- making me forget about everything that was happening and made me feel like I was in some spiritual nirvana. Music has taught me that beauty exists even in the darkest times and that creativity is a powerful force for growth and healing. I have found a way to express myself and make sense of the world, and it continues to inspire me every day. Whether I’m listening to the heartfelt lyrics of a song or composing my own melody, it reminds me of the power of art to transform lives. Music is more than a passion or a subject for me. To me, I believe music is proof of infinite potential of human expression. We use it to express ourselves; for many its used to even define themselves as a person. Music is just listening to what being human sounds like. Despite my deep love for music, I don’t see myself pursuing it as a professional career. Music will always hold a special place in my life, and it will remain my favorite passion forever. My goals for the future are different; after finishing school, I just want to pursue the same thing as my dad, managing a luxury retail store. I think I'd enjoy it, as fashion and helping style people is also another deep love I have, and I think I'd enjoy being in the retail business. So that is my goal, hopefully to one day be able to move up to a really high role in a luxury retail business, or a luxury business in general maybe. I don't know where I may end up, and that's okay, because I know I'll be alright when I have music to comfort me. Even though I wont pursue it, it doesn't mean my love for it will go away. Maybe when I'm stressed with work in the future, I'll make a song with my guitar and feel better about everything.
