How did you become a musician?

My career path has taken many twists and turns. It’s hard to pinpoint, but one ‘aha!’ moment was after I participated in a music institute for two summers in Bridgeport, Connecticut. There I collaborated with some of the most gifted musicians I’ve ever met. These experiences fanned my passion for music into a flame of purpose.

I’ll never forget being 16 — driving down the windswept New Mexico desertand Iron Maiden’s . During those moments, I felt limitless hope for the power of music, and I knew that I wanted to make music that blurs and crosses genre boundaries.
