    OWNER/CEO/CREATIVE ADVOCATE

    Colorado Springs was one of the best places to grow up in my opinion, but I always found that expressing myself in healthy manner was tough for me. I played a few years of band in which I was very talented, but I didn’t find it as being ‘cool’ enough, so I quit. If I had the opportunity to learn how to develop my own style or craft, I may have never given up on music, and may have had a better understanding of myself. I didn’t know that I could record my own music until I was well into college. Having now 8+ years of experience writing, recording, and mixing music, I find it being my greatest emotional release, and use it as a medium for expressing the things that I often have trouble finding the words for. I have worked with children in El Paso County for almost six years, and I am enthused to be able to provide youth with the opportunity to better learn themselves from an emotional standpoint, and learn how to channel that into a healthy form of expression of self. Being able to help develop our youth’s emotional understanding, as well as their technical skill set is my greatest pride from life so far, outside of being a parent.

    Originally from Chicago Heights, IL, I have moved here from Florida and resided in Colorado Springs for ten years. I am a lifelong songwriter, musical artist and producer as well as a sound engineer. Striving to provide inspiration for others to make better choices in life as well as potentially pursue creating music serves as a big purpose personally. This mentorship allows me to help connect with youth in order to explore their full potential not only in artistry but leading a positive and productive life.
