SUMMARY
- I took a School of Rock class where I learned how to write lyrics, alongside other music-making process. I’ve always had an issue with not being able to release my emotion, and lyric-writing could help me with these while also being a creative outlet.
LEADERSHIP ACTIVITY
I have multiple song ideas. None are in active pursuit, but it’s a good way to generate and understand new thoughts.

LAB (THEORY PRACTICED)
- DAWs weren’t really my thing. It was more helpful for me to work with someone who knew their way around it. Despite this, it’s a powerful and convenient tool that allows a single person to create music by themselves.

CONTROL ROOM (RECORDING & MIXING)
