About Me

For my twelfth birthday, my dad handed me my first guitar. That was the beginning of the end. Music and guitar have been my obsession ever since. In high school, I soon discovered Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen and Ozzy Osbourne. Blazing guitar solos, classic riffs and amazing vocals was life everyday after school. I would practice for hours everyday, hoping one day I could be at par or better with my heroes. And look at me now. I am attending the best music school in the world, surrounded by the best musicians and teachers. I am constantly being challenged to push myself, learning something new everyday. Berklee is a dream come true. Hopefully I never wake up…
