WHAT KIND(S) OF MUSIC DO YOU ENJOY BEST? ANY FAVORITE PERFORMERS OR FAVORITE SONGS? AND WHY DO YOU LIKE THEM?

I mostly listen to stylistic musicians such as Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Jessie J., and Tori Kelly because they most remind me of my own style. I love adding my own taste to any song and I love to do riffs and runs and often change notes to have a more bluesy type feeling. These artists most resemble my taste and me.

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT SO FAR?

I am proud of how much I am involved in the community and how much I am involved in singing and choirs there. On top of the two choirs, I participate in outside of school, I manage two jobs, complete my community service, and I am proud to say I have maintained a 4.475 GPA and I am ranked number 20 in my graduating class of 373.
