"For me, songwriting started as a therapeutic outlet, dealing with a breakup and dropping out of college. It has since grown into a means of understanding for me. A big reason for doing music is my family who has always pushed me to pursue my art and my friends who come out to our shows to support us. It has become bigger than just us and I think its beautiful. My father was an immigrant from Cuba and tells me how growing up he had a small drum set he made out of ice cream cartons but never had time to learn while making a living with his father. It reminds me that it is a privilege to even play music, and I am blessed have such an elated time with my bandmates on stage."
