Who has really mentored you as a performer?

“My voice teacher and my whole family who are also into music as well, they always give me good advice. Also, my choir teacher Mr. Fantozzi.”

What would you tell someone who is interested in joining choir?

“That they should definitely join, depending on how much experience they have, it may seem a bit intimidating at first but it’s actually really fun!”

What is next for you (in high school, college or beyond)?
