This Is My Story

I found his start in music at a young age when he would sing with my many brothers and sisters around the house in the southern San Francisco bay area in a town called Morgan Hill near San Jose.

From there, I became classically trained and did many old fashioned songs and a few broadway style ones. In addition, I listened to many power pop, pop/R&B, and alternative songs that were on the radio or relatively well known for indie artists. Lastly, I joined a choir in Junior College.

Later on, when I became a Christian at the age of 18, I started listening to Christian music on Pandora such as The Afters, Relient K, Switchfoot, Britt Nicole, Toby Mac and many other artists. I was very inspired and surprised by the lyrics and these artists’ constant positivity when faced with life’s challenges. That’s when I found out about the genre CCM, which I write now in an alternative style.

After going to college, making friends, and reading the new and old testament and understanding a better way of life, I discovered that something was missing. I was missing that purpose that has always been on his spirit. Therefore, I decided to join a worship team at my church and also a choir hosted by an addiction recovery center I was working for, whose focus was Christian Contemporary songs. 

After a while, I wanted to share my own story. My life has been characterized by many trials, failures, yet constant encouragement and courage in the face of difficulty. I’ve discovered that life is not meant to be lived alone, but must be lived interdependently with others.

Around 2019, just before the pandemic, I started to write songs during temporary work I was hired for. Since then, I’ve tried to make the songwriting dream a reality. Thanks to a couple studios and a community called Song Chasers, I’ve been able to  pursue this God-given dream to write songs that many people will likely benefit from.
