About Me



Music makes up most of my life. I started off learning the trumpet when I was about 8. My main instrument now is double bass, which I play in an orchestra. I also play bass guitar for people who want to hear me, and guitar mostly for myself. I like thinking about stuff, how it works, and why it is. Big up to Astrohorse and Jenny Story!!!

I also attend the Oxford Cello School. It's cool, trust me...
