Edward R. Murrow High School, Sophomore
Vocals & Percussion
Percussion and Vocals are the center to most rock songs and to be the center of a song is important to me. To do both at the same time brings attention to me so I can show my capability. My music, specifically rock, makes me feel connected to my family who’ve introduced me to the music I know now. The mixed genres of music that I play represents the diversity in the music I listen to. I've been inspired to sing and play drums after seeing kids my age get recognition for being in bands. My music is my way of expressing my style and is my way of feeling free from stress. I plan to grow my music career performing around New York City.

Self Portrait
Standing in the void of space,
The eyes that accompany the stars watch me.
Those eyes are the people around me
Whether they see with a negative or positive view, I have to keep pushing myself
Those eyes are behind me, and I have to keep moving forward.
I am Statement
I am growing
I am letting go of old habits and making new ones
I am taking care of my body like I wish I did before
I am pushing myself even when my motivation is low
I am learning more as time goes by
I am turning into the girl my younger self wanted to be
I am taking my self doubt and turning it into confidence
I am changing for the better
