You’ve had a fair amount of professional experience for someone so young.
你能谈谈这个吗?

我开始玩的时候 Luther Dickinson 黑礁岛和北密西西比全明星队的一员, 他一直是我的良师益友. 我在音乐家和艺术家的陪伴下长大, many of whom took the time to believe in me and pass along lessons. 我曾在许多现场演出中演奏贝斯和钢琴, 做了一些录音室的工作和伴唱, and recently began playing my own shows locally and a few in other parts of the country. 
 

在你们的青年艺术家演唱会上,人们可以期待听到什么?

我希望任何看我的 青年艺术家音乐会系列 leaves with an understanding of who I am, both on and off the stage. 我试着展示自己不同的一面, 里面有我小时候喜欢的歌和我最近写的歌. It is a journey through my life and my music and shows how the two have been intertwined all along.

你的音乐会还会和其他表演者合作吗?

My collaborator and longtime friend, Maia Jarrett, will play with me. 她是我最喜欢相处的人之一, talk to, and just be around, 我们有一种特殊的音乐联系. My little brother, Sloan, an amazing guitarist and person, will also play. 

这里的音乐课程对你有什么影响?

凯西·布洛克改变了我的生活. 她不仅仅是一个老师. She is a mentor, friend, and the best music teacher I have ever had. Cathy knows how to encourage students with positivity and hold us accountable when we aren't pulling our weight. She has really taught me how to be part of a band and lead groups of musicians. 索伯里的整个音乐系都很特别. 自从我遇见金·哈里斯,她每天都激励着我, and Greg Lipscomb always has good insight and the most beautiful ensemble. 我希望我能把这里的每节课都上100次. There are some I've taken multiple times, and I continue to learn more during each one. I feel so lucky to have spent these years at a school where my music has not only been accepted but enlivened. 我能够把社区团结在一起,感觉很好, and I will always be grateful to Solebury for creating the space for me and my art. 

你对未来的梦想是什么?

My dream is to live in a world where I can be a part of facilitating music and art as tools for change. Our world is beautiful, 但我们还有很多工作要做, and there is no more powerful tool than creativity and persistence. I hope that my personal future is loud with music and peaceful everywhere else. I hope to learn more about production and the different sides of the music industry and figure out where I fit within it. 虽然我很感激这四年, 我对离开索尔斯伯里后的生活感到兴奋, and I know that I will use all of the lessons I have learned here throughout my career and life.
