Fun Stuff about the Artist

Life on the Street

I started to busk at the beginning of this year on Walnut Street in Philadelphia. I've have lots of strange experiences, from a guy begging me for the money out of my guitar case so he could buy drugs to making a mom cry because her child enjoyed watching me perform so much. It's lots of fun, and I love that I can do what I love and brighten people's days with it!

Embarrassing Moment

I once fell into the reflection pool in Washington, DC... destroying the beautiful still water and thus the reflection... oops

My Instrument

I play the acoustic guitar. After only a couple months of playing I knew I was going to play and sing for life, and I set my eyes on a specific guitar, the Taylor 114 acoustic electric. I love the Grand Auditorium shape because it has the best sound. My guitar is my most prized possession and I can't imagine living without it. I literally find myself missing it when I'm away from it for longer than a day! However, I'm not too great at it yet... I only know what I taught myself and therefore I have pretty lousy technique. Here's hoping that I'll improve a lot over the next couple of years!
