It was a beautiful accident me and my teacher just started a jam session on our guitars. Then he started playing Redbone by childish Gambino. I was surprised that he actually know that song because he doesn’t come off as that type of person who would listen to that style of music. But being a musician I should know that music has no barriers it belongs to everyone and is the universal language. So I asked him to replay the chords and I soloed over them. I had recently had someone pass away in my life and had a failed taking stage and all my emotions where just inside me. I felt as if I was ready to blow but I kept my composure with still feeling in a state of limbo. But when you play an instrument and you really love it, it’s like therapy. When you can just let all your troubles go and feel the raw emotions. So I just played my heart out. Guitarist have an ability to disconnect from their consciousness and let their fingers take control kind of like an euphoric trance. That’s what I had. I was knocked out of it when my teacher said let’s wrap it up so we finished and I felt a whole lot better about myself and life.

Playing music on my guitar and violin is how I express my emotions when I feel I can’t with other people.
