Advice to Aspiring Musicians: 

"My advice to aspiring musicians is to make sure to be YOU. It’s great to have influences, but know they just help shape who we really are.

Also, make sure to LISTEN.  Listening is a major key in becoming a well rounded musician. Both in an educational sense, as well as in a live playing experience. Be MUSICAL."
