Creating my Music Studio

 When I had downtime due to COVID-19 and quarantine, I began to play drums a lot more. Soon, I was invested in playing drums for many hours every week and got extremely motivated to build a music studio. 

We had a small room in the back of our house that was used as a storage space, but it was really just wasted room. I started by moving my drumkit to the back and setting that up. I had just finished recording some tracks for a kid's album, so I also moved all the cords and mics to fit the new setup. My dad, who plays a lot of keyboards, moved his keyboards into the back and started to bring all the amps. Finally, we moved the big iMac pro into the back to have the Digitial Audio Workspace. 

Once everything was functional, I started working on the aesthetics because I wanted to make sure I could record some drum videos to post on the internet. I found these really cool lights on amazon and bought an LED backing strip to put behind where I would sit. Eventually, everything was done and I was ready to get drumming! I can't wait to see what I create in the studio.

Volleyball Season Starting

 Because we couldn't play flag football this year from covid restrictions, we have successfully started a boys volleyball team. We have been trying to start this for years, but this year it finally worked in our favor. Because the boys were so dominant in our Quadfest games, we had very high expectations coming into our season, but our practices so far have highlighted our weaknesses.  Our first game is this week as well, so were are interested to see how our practice will pay off. From what I've heard, the competition is tough with other boys' volleyball teams. Our team also lacks some height, but I have high hopes for our season.  In practice, we have been working on returning serves and setting. We will have the best opportunities to score off of some spikes by Fabby and I, so I've been working on that form. I'm super excited to start playing!

Original Nations Guitar

This year I have started working on a new internship - Original Nations. This company helps young entrepreneurs start thier own brands with no upfront costs. When I first started working with them, I was only interested in helping them flush out the website and find bugs. However, they have just recently come to me with an awesome opportunity and I couldn't be more excited.  As a musician, I have always wanted a signature instrument. Taylor Guitars reached out to them to have me as a brand ambassador for thier acoustic GS mini line. I was honored for this, but I knew I wanted to take it a step further. Just this week we decided that we are going to take these acoustic guitars and custom laser cut the brand name into the side and add a cool design. From here, we will sell the guitars and a portion of the profits will go to charity.  While I'm not 100% sure which charity I am going to choose, I'm thinking of Heart Support. Is a mental health-focused charity that was started b...
