Music has been a passion of mine from age 6. I got my start playing the piano with friends trying to figure out the music from Super Mario 64. Not a day has gone by since then that I haven't picked up an instrument of some kind.

But I also believe in having fun while you work-if it's not fun, then something needs to change because music should be fun! Read More
