About Me



♫♫
About me?
um, I don't know. Let's see ... I'm from Atlanta orrignially (born and raised), but lived in Cleveland for 4 years while attending the Cleveland Institute of Music, for undergrad. So yeah, I play the viola; that's what I do. And while I was there, I learned to swing dance, so I do that too. And now I'm going to grad school at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. ... that about sums things up. ... Oh, and I like to climb trees. And I really really love the Beethoven string quartets. Go listen to them. The 3rd movement of Op. 132 is the meaning of life.

PB&J you could throw a brick through
