Favorite Musical Experience : Before a competition at a summer camp that I went to when I was in 2nd grade, I was running around my house with my violin, and I of course, tripped and fell. I was in big trouble, because it was right before a competition and it was too late to get it fixed. I had broken my violin before an event before. When I got up on stage, my violin was very out of tune, and I couldn’t turn the peg, so a judge helped me. When he saw my violin with a huge crack going almost all the way down my violin, he asked me what happened, and I told him I broke it. Then I got up on stage and played. It was actually pretty successful. I learned that I had to be more careful because I am a VERY clumsy person!
Hobbies outside of music : I love going jumping on my favorite pony Ziggy.
What about performing in a music video makes you excited?
I already know Stressed Out and I love it, so it makes me excited that I get to combine my love of pop music and classical music together and play this song on the violin.
