"Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." [Charlie Parker]
Although I’m not a "musician" per se, music is what I love hearing and something I play in my spare time. While all instruments are amazing; trumpet is what I’ve always enjoyed playing since the age of 10. I am a fourth year student attending California State University of Fresno, studying Mass Communications and Journalism with an emphasis in Media Broadcasting. I’m not sure where my path to success will take me, but I hope to have a successful career doing what I love; putting a smile on the face of the public. I am also a proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
