Bio
I am the youngest of three children, born to Jamaican Immigrants in Queens, New York; New York is also where I started my lessons in Piano. Funnily enough, I didn't want to take lessons initially; my parents pulled us out of the much more interesting Karate in order to make room for the Piano. They could've at least put me in gymnastics like I wanted, but nooooo. I resented having to give up any part of my weekend to learn how to play some "boring" ol' instrument. Even my teacher thought I would never take it seriously enough to excel; he also said my fingers were too short! However, contrarian that I am, I came to enjoy my weekly lessons. A lot. Then I started to anticipate them. I practiced so much, my parents wondered what they had done introducing me to such a noisy extracurricular. Before I knew it, I was in love with the piano, and music in general. After almost a decade of guided instruction in Sight Reading, Music Theory, and Music History, I decided to take it to the next level on my own at the age of 14. Since taking the reins on my own learning, I have written 50+ songs, played numerous recitals and church services, and even composed a number for a musical. I remain a forever student when it comes to music, particularly the Piano, and I'm grateful to share my journey with as many of you as I come across.
