ABOUT DSA

A couple years pass by and I’m knee deep in learning lighting design, bass guitar, and acoustic guitar in church with help from YouTube and a mentor of mine (thank you, Josh). A year later, I’m learning piano and electric guitar (I am obsessed with music). By the end of high school I had been playing for 6-7 years and I met a new group of very talented friends. I joined in on the fun and traveled around playing music from churches in Lafayette to Indianapolis in a group we call, Gather. I found out everyone was writing music, so I got the only item everyone buys, a 3rd generation Focusrite Scarlett Solo. Fast forward a year, some of us had to go off to college, so the friend group changed. Then Covid hit and everyone had to come back home. Shoutout to a friend from high school who introduced me to hippo campus, changed my whole life! A group of us formed a band, we wrote an album and a half worth of music and a new mentor of mine was coaching me through how to use more gear laying around the church as if it were a studio (I got deep into the art of recording music). I learned so much, headed off to college and took a deep dive for a year and a half. I had no life outside of studio work because that is all I wanted to do. I got a job at Sweetwater, I learned tons there and kept pushing through college. Heck, I played in front of what we guessed to be 5000 people in a blues trio (what? pinch me)! As of May 8th of 2024, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Music in Popular Music with a concentration in recording and production. The degree means nothing, it is all about how much work you put in and I’m still putting in as much time as I can. I have met so many cool people and have had so many great opportunities, I wouldn’t be able to sum it up in this story, just ask me about it! In today’s world, I am immersing myself in as many projects as possible and working towards the next career milestone. Of course, there will always be another.
