I am a musician and composer but I work through so many different mediums I just love to create. I am a percussionist, with this background I have learned that rhythm can be versatile. I have performed with trash cans and some of the most expensive mallet instruments like a marimba. Not only do I use anything to create this performative art I also write music. I write music for a wide range of  instruments working directly with artists that specialize on those instruments. This allows me to gain a deep understanding of the instruments and how a player thinks about their instruments. I use all types of ways to write music, including musical transcriptions and Digital Audio Workstation (or DAW) like Fl Studio, and Ableton. I use different ways to convey my compositions because typically when I work out on a DAW it is electronic composition in the genre of Hip Hop, however my written transcriptions are more for solo instrumentation or for live instruments. This allows me to communicate effectively with artists. I typically work with instrumental music leaving the guest to interpret the titles that I create. Things like “reflection from my walk (last night)” (a piano composition I have written) and “Dear…” (a string ensemble composition) all allow the listener to build a world in their own head. Allowing the listener to have a closer meaning to the music create. One experience or feeling to me is not the same for the listener and this is what I love about writing music, the emotions one can possibly feel just from listening to it, I’m able to build a foundation of a memory or a feeling with the music I create and the audience puts in the meaning. The 2 biggest inspirations or influences that have guided my arts and how I consume or think about art are my parents. Since I was a kid they have introduced me to so many different art mediums. But mainly my dad is a music producer and has taught me how to collect records and has developed my love for Hip Hop. Developing this love only presented a wide range of music through hip hop, allowing me to get exposed to some many different genres that would later affect how I make music. On the other hand my mom is an Aztec Dancer and has danced in the LA community for over 40 years now. Growing up in an indigenous household I have learned dedication and discipline to arts by wanting to present and explore different mediums like dancing, custom design, and music without any materialistic gain. I try to apply this same mind set on any project I am working on.
