What are your primary professional responsibilities? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I do everything from performing solo or with a band, to creating videos and live streaming. My primary responsibilities include staying consistent with my schedule, putting out videos and content on the daily. I also produce and write music for my own personal projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you decide to enter your industry? And can you tell me about that journey?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Graduating in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, I didn’t expect that music was going to be a viable source of income for me. Or rather, I’d been told my whole life by family that being a creative was not a career. After working at a hospital for years and subsequently working as a paralegal to learn how to run a business, I took a leap of faith and decided to pursue music full-time. I started streaming music in 2017 an \u2014 unbeknownst to me at the time \u2014 I was one of the first music streamers on Twitch<\/a> and pioneered an entire genre of livestream on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who do you consider to be your professional inspirations or role models? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Beatles are who originally inspired me to write music and pick up a guitar. Amy Winehouse is a huge vocal inspiration. Bruno Mars is my production inspiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
