There have been several times during my childhood that I did not have enough food to eat, presentable clothing to wear or a place to lay my head. Read More>>

I believe that my level of generosity comes directly from my mother and early exposure to travel. To start, my mother Maria is one of the most generous people that you meet. She constantly gives her time, talents, and monetary gifts to family, friends, and trusted organizations. Read More>>

Having a generous spirit is something that I have always cultivated. It began with my sister and I treating each other as “Queen for the Day” on our birthdays: we did each other’s chores, brushed each other’s hair, and generally spoiled each other in whatever creative ways we could devise.

Well, as a young child it wasn’t instilled in me to be so caring and giving, my life growing up my peers were somewhat selfish and I was taught you have to earn it.

I believe that doing things that are good for other artists benefits the industry as a whole. I honestly want artists and bands to play shows, connect with people, spread their music, and just do well. I had a lot of help when I was just starting, and I still get a lot of help from my friends and bandmates, so I count anything I can do in return for other artists as a win for everyone. Read More>>
