Since I was about 10, the piano has been my passion. I am 15 years old and I have lived in the small city of Fort Lee for most of my life. Living right across the bridge from New York City has only further inspired my passion for music as a whole. I have been playing the piano for over 5 years now, and have recently started to learn how to play the guitar by myself to further peruse my passion.
