About Me

So a bit of my life story...I was born in Monterey, CA and spent most of my days growing up on a navy base in Lemoore, CA which so happens to be about an hour South of Fresno, CA which at the time was the closest thing we had when it came to doing much of anything! I moved up to Federal Way, WA right before I started 7th grade and have been here ever since! I really had a huge passion to be a professional athlete in my younger days but sadly after realizing I wouldn't be tall enough for basketball, big enough for football, and not to mention I can't throw a baseball to save my life...I resorted to music thus became Follow Through which later became known as Amber Pacific. I'd been exposed to music my entire life but really started learning about it in 4th grade by taking piano lessons from a lovely old lady named Mrs. Whitaburgh (what's there not to love about that name, she was a sweet old lady! haha) I then took up trumpet in middle school playing that for 3 years and didn't really get myself into guitar until 10th grade. What started out as a Blink 182 cover band has now become what I currently am today...just another aspiring musician getting lost amongst the thousands and thousands of others trying to do the same thing...damn! If you want to know more talk to me!My attempt at playing by "ear"...I'll Never Let Go...Oh Wait...But I Did Let Go...IDIOT!!Righteous!Schindler's List
