Meet the Artist

What inspired you to join iBuildBridges?

I’m mostly a solo street performer, so this is a cool way to play music with other people!

‍

What‘s something unique you contribute to the group?

I have perfect pitch – the ability to hear a note and name it as instantly as naming a color. I can also play a lot of video game soundtracks.

‍

What are your musical influences?

Lindsey Stirling, and my past orchestra teachers.

‍

What impact has iBuildBridges had on you as a musician and person?

It's a lot of fun exploring different places to perform that I would not normally go to. Thanks to IBuildBridges, I visited Chicago for the first time. I was one of the first to join in the fall of 2018, and the only original member from that time. I will stay in this group for as long as humanly possible!

‍

Why is music important to you?

It's my life. It's my escape. It shows that I have a purpose in life.

‍

How do you spend your time outside of iBuildBridges?

Street performing in the Seattle Center and speed-running Super Mario 64 (trying to beat the game as fast as possible). Super Mario 64 was a big part of my childhood. One of my favorite songs to perform is Super Mario 64 staff roll end credits. I love creating a sense of nostalgia for people who used to play the game.
