Bio
My passion for music started the moment I picked up a guitar at age 10, and I’ve been playing and performing ever since. I love writing my own music, and gravitate towards folk and indie/ pop rock. Now a full time musician, I’ve been able to make a career out of performing professionally, directing and editing my own music videos, and helping younger artists find their own voice. When I’m not at home obeying my fluffy evil cat, Margot, I enjoy walks with my dogs, driving my orange scooter for a boba, and cosplay.

Bio
I originally got into music when I saw my older brother riffing on his electric guitar and I naturally wanted to be just like him, so at age 6, I started my guitar lessons. From there it was a slippery slope into wanting to know every in and out of music. This lead me to quickly learn every instrument I could get my hands on. I really enjoy playing in jazz bands to challenge myself. Outside of music I'm an armchair mathematician and scientist, and also love race cars.

I grew up with multiple musicians so music was always a part of my life. I’ve sang since I can remember and tried quite a few instruments throughout school, before starting piano at 13. Since then I’ve been learning more, writing songs and now teaching!

Bio
I got into music the moment I saw AC/DC's "Live At Donington" concert. As soon as I got my hands on a guitar, I dove deep into all the great bands that have their names covering the history books, and learned as many of their songs as I could. Turns out, I was pretty good at getting my friends into it as well, and soon, I had joined my first band. I began playing local rock clubs at 16 and absolutely loved the rush from being on stage. I've had the pleasure in sharing the stage with awesome bands such as Queensryche, Great White, and other touring acts. I look forward to helping the next generation of rockers that have passion and interest in their music.

I first picked up guitar when I was 12 and have years on years of band experience. I play bass in First to Eleven, and guitar in Refuge Rock n' Country and Daytona Beach 2000. I founded Monochrome Studios (originally Rock School Studios) to help musicians of any age in our area accelerate their skills in music, but to go much further than just learning an instrument.

I started playing guitar when I was 7 years old after playing Guitar Hero III for months and begging my parents for a real guitar. Shortly after that, I started taking lessons from Ryan Krysiak and haven been playing guitar (and video games) ever since.

Bio
I got my first guitar because of Guitar Hero II when I was 10, and since then I've had an avid passion for playing, writing, and recording. With that passion I also developed an eye for visual media, delving deep into graphic design and video production early on around the same time. In 2011, I officially started working in multimedia, all self-taught or taught directly by people with crazy reputations in the industry. I played in Jazz Band and Percussion Ensemble in high school; afterwards I was a guitarist in a Metal band and drummer a Pop Punk Band but now have my solo project, Snowfall.
