My childhood had <a href="spotify:artist:3WrFJ7ztbogyGnTHbHJFl2" data-name="The Beatles">The Beatles</a> on constant rotation with Latin American pop (<a href="spotify:artist:61hAcjvvUS6EXMpeeHwaDi" data-name="Kabah">Kabah</a> & <a href="spotify:artist:7qG3b048QCHVRO5Pv1T5lw" data-name="Enrique Iglesias">Enrique Iglesias</a>) thrown in the mix. In middle school my taste expanded a bit when I was introduced to <a href="spotify:artist:6XyY86QOPPrYVGvF9ch6wz" data-name="Linkin Park">Linkin Park</a> and heavy emo music (<a href="spotify:artist:05fG473iIaoy82BF1aGhL8" data-name="Slipknot">Slipknot</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4ZIBrskTJWmkJUvM7uAu1o" data-name="Chiodos">Chiodos</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1Ffb6ejR6Fe5IamqA5oRUF" data-name="Bring Me The Horizon">Bring Me The Horizon</a>), giving a shy awkward kid an outlet for the screaming internal pandemonium that drive the preteen years. Not feeling like I was creative or talented enough to play the guitar or sing, I got a drum kit to be the rhythmic backbone to those angsty songs I loved.
In early high school I picked up the guitar for the noble reason of thinking girls would like me more, but thankfully instead I ended up falling in love with how easy it was to get lost in making noise that resonated with how I was feeling. I was too self conscious for lessons, but I was comfortable with figuring out my own way of communicating with instruments. I started messing around on the keyboard in my family's home office too, trying to recreate melodies I liked from <a href="spotify:artist:0SwO7SWeDHJijQ3XNS7xEE" data-name="MGMT">MGMT</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3nFkdlSjzX9mRTtwJOzDYB" data-name="JAY-Z">JAY-Z</a> songs, and when I was overwhelmed with schoolwork, social drama, or expectations, making a song on GarageBand was my go to.
During high school and college I didn't have a lot of time for making music because getting into a good college and a good job were the ultimate priorities in my socially skewed view of life. But now I want to make music and to perform to connect with others. I have things to say and emotions to share, and I hope people resonate with them the way I have.
