Drumming means to me:
I love being part of a community where everyone is passionate and can show it whatever crazy way they want. It means being on a lifelong journey that gets me up in the morning every single day. I love entertaining people by hitting stuff hard with sticks, and making stanky face grooves.
Advice for up and coming drummers:
1. Practice hard 2. Know what you like. 3. If it was easy, everyone would do it. 4. Enjoy it 5. Set yourself apart 6. Don’t force it (see #4)
How would you describe yourself:
I’m 23, but have no intention of growing up anytime soon. I’m up for literally anything. I love my family and friends. I want to be on a wild musician’s journey until I can’t physically continue. I want to soak up all the world has to offer. I’m always working towards a goal, but always go with the most fun option. I live a dual life as a musician and as a professional cup stacker. Not really, that would be weird. I’m not very tall, but I can lift most people off the ground. Are you sold yet ladies?
When I look back on my life one day, I would like to be able to say:
Whoa, I did that?
