About
music has been an integral part of my life ever since I was little. When I was 5 I had my first mp3 player and music has haunted me ever since (in a good way HAHA). 10 years later, I'm 15 years old and in my sophmore year of highschool (10th grade for all the non Americans) and I've immensely expanded my music taste.
