Do you play any instruments?
Yes, currently I play two instruments. I play guitar and the ukulele. I taught myself both. I started playing guitar last summer, and just recently got my ukulele in December. It’s pretty simple and easy to play, not that much different from guitar, and can be easily transportated
A ukulele is such a different instrument, what made you decide you wanted to play it?
I suppose the music I listen to. I always enjoy playing songs I know, and I heard this song by a band called Cocoon. They are from France, and they use the ukulele in their song “Owls.” That’s where it started. I really just wanted to expand my horizons with the music I play.
So, what kinds of music do you like?
That is a hard question to answer, mostly because I’m into everything. But lately the majority of my ipod is folk rock music. My music is more abstract than most, but that’s what I enjoy about it. There’s variety, and I like how there are different ways to incorporate it into music. I think the easiest way to answer would be with my favorite bands, which happen to be Bon Iver, Page France, Daniel Johnston, and John Lennon.
Music is a large part of your life, What else is there?
Definitely art, I think it’s beautiful to see how people view the world and how they decide to put it out there in art rather than words. I’m still trying to find out who I am as an artist and with Mrs.Stelter’s help, I’m getting there! She is an awesome art teacher and knows what she is doing!
What plans do you have for your future?
I’m still deciding that. I of course have a love for art and I think I want to go in that direction but there is another path I’m interested in. Most people think this is ridiculous but I love math, and I can see myself working in that department, but not being stuck in an office all day. I want to have an exciting job. So, for now, I am still currently deciding.
