Artist description The "Band" is made up of myself and my computer that plays the piano for me. I am 19 years old (my computer is 2 months old), and I am trying to improve my voice so I can make my music more extensive.

Musical Influences Kenny G, James Galway

Similar Artists Kenny G and James Galway (although I pale in comparison to either, but I can hope, right?)

Artist History I grew up in the SMALL city of Port Charlotte, FL. I have also lived in Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, and Lakeland (Mulberry actually). I started playing music in the Fourth grade when my parents bought me a clarinet to play. I was directed by Mr. Les Kraus in my Middle School years, and in my final High school year, I had Mr. Dale Preston. I was Drum Major of my Marching Band, and Student Conductor for the Concert Band. I have been in Solo and Ensemble Festivals 19 times since 8th grade, and have received 17 Superior Ratings and 2 Excellent Ratings by the FBA (Florida Bandmaster's Association). I was in All-State Band twice (8th grade and 12th Grade). I have decided I want to be a big influence to young students not to give up on their dreams because I am achieving mine at last. I have waited approximately 9 years for this, so it takes a while to reach your goal. Thanks to all my family and friends who have supported me.
