Instruments: Guitar Voice

At the beginning of my musical journey I considered myself as a guitarist that can also sing. But to be honest during those years I didnt really like my voice.

I began teaching in the music performance/ production field in 2010, while away at Morgan State University in Baltimore Maryland.
