About Me

Hey! I like to get great perspectives on life by reading, listening, and watching... My goal is to gain spirituality in all things. For me, music is the greatest experience I've had yet but not limited to many other forms.I love new ideas and experiencing them. I live my life according to God's Word and abid in it.I am a composer who is in love with all that which it is. Conducting is becoming a huge passion of mine, you pour out your heart and make music come alive. Some say its about the audience, then I have to say who wants to think about the audience when you hear, study, conduct, write a piece like Mahler's fifth
