What inspired you to go into music?

I was inspired to go into music because of my family, my dad especially. They were all actively participating in music groups and it was something that introduced me into the world of performing. From there, I fell in love with music, I tried to learn as much as I can from my uncle, my dad and cousin about reading music, why they love it and the instruments they played. I am absolutely glad that I am able to pursue my passion in music and will hopefully be able to teach the same thing to others.
