Meet the Business Owner
Justin C.
Business Owner
I began to really investigate music when I started playing trombone at the age of eleven. Trombone quickly became one of my strengths, and I eventually made the Mississippi All-State Lions Band, traveling to Hong Kong and Boston for the international parade marching competition (2005 and 2006). I began to take piano lessons in my sophomore year of high school. Though I took only three years of lessons, I quickly bloomed as a pianist because of my obsession with the instrument, playing for even four or five hours a day at some times. Two of my years focused on the sonatas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I became rather confident in my singing abilities around fifteen, and I have sung in several collegiate groups from Fall 2007 through Fall 2012.
My music abilities grew exponentially once I began studying music in college. I received my B.M.E. from Mississippi State University in December 2010, and I earned my Master of Music (Composition) from the University of Kentucky in May 2013.
