Yes, I started playing piano age 10, trombone age 12. I started writing my own music age 15 or so. After high school, I studied at Belmont University in Nashville, TN for 4 years and graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Commercial Piano (Composition & Arranging emphasis.)

I was part of a professional touring band for about 2 years after college, until I got burned out on the lifestyle and the type of music I was forced to play (classic country/rock) as well as personal differences with the other members.

I still love music, but poetry is my main focus at the present. I practice beatboxing every day, though.
