Bio

Hello. My name is Najji, and I am a graduating senior of Jonesboro High School in Jonesboro, GA. After long thought, and millions of dollars of scholarships received from many schools across the USA ($720.4K from music/band scholarships alone), I will be attending Alabama State University in the Fall of 2021 to get my master's degree in Music Education. I believe I would be an excellent recipient of this scholarship because I am really dedicated to my craft. I have been in a band for 5-6 years of my life and I love music. I started to learn how to compose music in 2018. I have even been invited to play with other young adults at the Sydney Opera House in 2022.

My piece came from being pushed to learn how to arrange music and this song was popular, so I wanted to arrange it and give it my own twist.
