Most memorable Next-Level Performance
My memorable moment would have to be playing with Lizzo; just the rehearsals alone were next level. I felt myself learning, growing, and maturing all at the same time. I wish we would've gotten that opportunity to play at the Houston rodeo, but the pandemic happened. But for me, just playing with all-star musicians, Lynette, Ari, and Zuri, WoW! That's all I have to say about that lol -
What Drives Your Creativity?
It depends on my surroundings, meaning; it could be my boss one day; next, it could be bandmates or me watching videos of other musicians or looking back at performances critiquing myself. Those things drive me to be creative. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
I love the freestyle 5A, PERIOD. It gets the job done! I'm relaxed when I play because of those sticks.
