Music Really Is Our Daily Medicine.

Before My Teen Years, I Was Losing My Hearing Pretty Quickly, And I Was Getting Very, Very Angry. I Was Beginning To Become An Angry Person Because Of That.

I've Kept A Diary Since I Was 11.

When I Was 12, I Happened To See A Schoolmate Playing Percussion, And It Looked Interesting. I Asked For Lessons, And It Felt Right.

Hearing Is A Form Of Touch. You Feel It Through Your Body, And Sometimes It Almost Hits Your Face.
