Hard to believe that before I entered the engineering field and learned a great deal about physics, I wanted to be a rock star in the past.
Something about it fit me well. Either from my masculine persona, the series of many heartbreaks, or my love for the guitar. It was a time when I was young and dreamed about jamming in front of a crowd of thousands of people.
Sure I was bad at the time, but keep in mind this video was over 6 years old. I have been playing for a while. The reason I stopped pursuing the dream is because sure, being a musician is cool, but engineering is what puts money on the table. I wanted to be an innovator, and the extension of that innovation went beyond the calling of music to satisfy me.
Over the years, I got a bit better. This was me playing in some of my low moments in 2014. I wanted to make music that seemed positive and impactful. I wanted to use music as a way of making people feel happy and giving them hope.
In 2016, around April, I started work on a song for my friend's birthday. She was from South Carolina and an English major so I grabbed my humor and composed a song that took nearly 9 hours of my time. I wanted a sort of country inspiration to it. While my music has changed over the past, one thing is for certain, I do have a passion for music. Music is a communication barrier between all people. That being said, I am an Engineer first. I will always like to make music, but creating technology that impacts people's lives for the better is what is important right now.
