Why I Became A Musician
Honestly, no one. I grow up in a music family. Right after high school, I was offered by University of Indonesia to study med and Drake University(Iowa) & University of Northern Iowa to study music. I know deep down music has been a part of my life since birth, that I couldn't and wouldn't give up and I'm proud of that.
My Memorable Musical Experience
Tons of midnight practices with my college friends for upcoming performances. We would attempt to play other's instruments that we are not familiar with and it sounded terrible...yikes!
A fun fact about me is...
I love cats and noodles!
My advice to someone starting to learn music is...
Focus on fundamental and be patient throughout the learning process.
