In my coming of age days in Los Angeles engulfed in bright lights, big cameras, and movie stars along the streets of Hollywood, I’ve always been curious as to how I fit into this loud enigma. I’ve always known that I’m an artist in hiding, waiting to reveal myself — but I was quiet. Over time I tried expressing myself sonically by way of hosting parties as a DJ and consequently becoming a music engineer.
Years later I knew music wasn’t for me, but I was sure I wanted to be heard. My tenure was cut short in California and a new endeavor awaited in Colorado. Being closer to the Rockies grounded me and gave me a sense of tranquility that I would’ve never attained had I not left. I now found it ironic that I only discovered my purpose through distancing myself from all the noise. I can hear now. It behooves me to express myself and my feelings through the thousand words a picture is worth while I’m in nature. I feel heard.
