When I was little my dad had a song for everything. His music surrounded my every day. I would hear him sing along to songs from when I woke up in the morning to when I went to sleep at night. Now, music is like my best friend because it has always been there for me. For every mood of mine there is a song. And for every song there is a lyric that describes my life. My background has brought me to a job working with sound. It has helped me to make audio that inspires other as more than a person. I want people to relate to my work, like how music relates to my life. When one listens to my audio I want them to go outside of their body and block out everything to focus on their mind, as if they were a monster. I want people to feel like a beautiful monster, like me.
