Armon is a 7-year-old piano enthusiast from the Bay Area who plays purely for the joy it brings him. He recently won third prize in an in-person Bay Area music competition and is excited to be performing at the Charleston competition. At family and friends’ gatherings, Armon can usually be found at the piano rather than playing with other kids; he always says that playing makes him feel calm, happy, and comfortable.
