I believe in the power of emotion more than anything else. When suppressed it is the most dangerous weapon. When allowed, it is the source of all beauty.

 

I am from Seattle, Washington. I first loves music are Ray Charles, MC Hammer, and Dvorak’s Symphonies, gifted to me by my father.
 

My favorite comment on my playing to date was an unknown woman who took a moment to call out to me from the back of a concert hall while I practiced alone, saying, “You don’t know how good that sounds”.

 

I believe in my ability to encourage others and I want to teach everyone to be fearless and change the world in the way they see fit.
