what inspired you into music

My mom used to always play the piano for me and my sister when I was a kid, and so music was something that resonated with me in a meaningful way from a very young age.

FAVORITE TEACHING MOMENT

My first time I was tutoring a student in songwriting, I had never experienced the joy of helping someone discover and refine their own creative process, and hearing the music they made after our work together was truly inspiring.
