The Reason he started performing::
I've always listened to "old" music. One day I heard louie and from then on it was trumpet all the way. Louie also got me into singing and my impression of the great satchmo is pretty good if I do say so myself.
What he is doing musically right now::
Currently, I'm in all the bands at school. This ranges from classical to mariachi, with a big band on the side. I also have a couple bands of my own. One is a quintet, the other is a septet.
What he plans on doing in the future::
In the future...I want to go to college for jazz performance/improvasation, in new york of course. Then I would like to but together a band and move to france...we'll see where it goes from there.
