About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover what the world is made of!

ABOUT ME

When I was 2 I learned to read and write. 3, I wrote a letter for Santa wishing for a strawberry pie. 4, I started playing jingles in glasses filled with water. When I was 5 my grandma made me promise I would never ride a motorbike, and then she gave me a keyboard.

When I was 6 I skipped a year in school and met the love of my life. 7, I must have been the most bullied kid in the class because I was younger and a nerd. 8, I played my first gig with the keyboard with my mother. When I was 9 my hair was almost completely straight. I was born with it very wavy.

I was probably 10 when I got a piano. Between 11 and 12 I appeared on national TV playing my music and studied classical piano. When I became 13 I cried because it was an odd number and I really fancied to be 12.

At the day I became 15 my band went to my house to our first rehearsal. 16, I was dating my the love of my life I mentioned earlier. She was the prettiest girl in school and IMO in the world. 17, I enrolled into the university. 18, it took me three tries to get my driver's license and I haven't driven so far. 19, I went abroad for the first time with my band and it shook my world.

By the time I was 20 I had my loved girlfriend, all my best friends, my gigs. Now I'm 21 and I will spend a semester far from everything in an interchange program. :O
