Throughout high school, you made an incredible climb to get where you are in the music department, what is your advice to younger members who wish to make it as far as you in music?

You have to be dedicated to yourself and music. You can’t improve unless you’re willing to give up basically all of your time. Doing that isn’t a bad thing because you really start to love it and seeing the hard work pay off is the best reward. My advice is to try your best to do you and only you and not care what others have to say about it, because deep down, they want to be you.

What was your favorite part about Bangor’s music department?

Who specifically influenced you into pursuing music throughout high school?

Mr. Di Minico, duh!
