To be honest, I think purpose found me. I’m a Virgo, so it’s in my nature to be of service and to help others. In high school I thought my path would be healthcare, and that I would be working at a hospital when I got older in the neonatal unit. But god had bigger plans for me little did I know at the time. I was gifted the ability to communicate my feelings and thoughts through music in a way that would touch the masses. Read more>>

Music has been a part of my life as early as I can remember. My grandfather was a classical and jazz piano player. I loved listening to him practice when I was young. He noticed that I had expressed interest in learning. He sat me down at the piano and began with my ear training. At first it was individual notes. Then we moved on to identifying simple chords.

My purpose has come from listening that that voice that we all have in our heads, one might call it, the still small voice. That voice tells you, what you love, what makes you excited, what you dread, and if you listen to that voice it helps you clarify your vision for what you were made to do. I think it is important to keep in mind, that the most powerful vision must always include people. How am I, how are we going to serve people? Read more>>

Finding one’s purpose comes from doing a lot of self reflection, inner discovery, and finding the root within yourself. It requires you to take a lot of time alone and having hard talks with yourself. I haven’t mastered the inner reflection, but I know at my core I was made to create art. I’m a creative being as well as a emotional one, and art helps me express the core conflicts in myself.
