Why did you begin studying music?
I began studying music because of my love for it. The sound a bass makes when provided the right groove is sweet sugar to my ears. I wanted to participate in the stuff I love listening to. I wanted to make a contribution to the world of music.[/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last]
