Hey, welcome to the world of x; where music is expressed in an entirely different language, American Sign Language.

I am indeed deaf, but with the aid of hearing aids I can hear and speak well. My parents and my older brother are deaf as well. I originally gained my interest in signing music through my Uncle Bob who used to sign music to me everyday after school growing up; I later developed a further interest when my friends in highschool told me I was really good.

Today, I still make videos (maybe not as many as I'd like) and try to inspire many others to learn the language and join the world of expressing music with our hands.

I recently graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a Bachelors in Advertising and Public Relations. I've been making videos since I was 14, I am now 23.
