Some will ask, well WHO ARE YOU?
I'm a musician who is determined to share the gift of music God has blessed with me to inpire, impact, and influence the people who are in my life to the one's He's planning to put in my life. In ALL i do from my classical percussion music to my body, to my personality, to my life. He gave his Son to die for OUR sins so me and YOU can go to heaven the LEAST we can do is LIVE for Him.
Matthew 19:26"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Well, what kind of musician are you exactly? I'm a classical musician, but a classical PERCUSSIONIST and pianist. I will major in Music Performance under classical percussion. However, I'm no ordinary musician I'm a musician who is Mexican and proud of it. In this industry the majority is male caucasian/asian and not so far off caucasian/asian women. I ask you a question, how many full blood mexicans in an orchestra? How many FEMALE mexicans? Not very many to none at all. I want to change that stereotype. I am a mexican female percussionist who wants to show that us mexican female musicians can ACCOMPLISH anything just as well as the caucasian man can. Trust me I respect other musicians no MATTER what ethnicity they are, I just see that in this industry from being on the music journey I am riding.
I have been very blessed with the opportunites I have had in my life thus far.
I am part of the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra for the second season 2009-2010 season to the 2010-2011. I have been part of the Pacific Symphony Wind Ensemble 2008-2009 and I'm a Pacific Symphony Santiago Strings Standing Guest Perucussionits. I have also had a guest percussionist opportunity for Pacific's Symphony Story Time. As well, while we, the pacific symphony youth orchestra, were preparing Stravinsky's Firebird, We had a master clinic with Carl St. Clair on his 20th season with the Pacific Symphony. Through every concert we have played at the Orange County Performing Arts Center also known as the Renee and Henry Segrestrom Hall.
I have been in the Claremont Youth Musicians Orchestra for 2008-2009 Season and we played in the Walt Disney Concert Hall. I was also in the Claremont Youth Musicians Intermezzo Orchestra. We've played in Bridges Hall as well.
I have played in the All- Southern Youth Orchestra for 2007-2007 Season (Alternate) 2007-2008 Youth Orchestra, 2008-2009 Youth Orchestra Principal Percussionist. All State Symphonic Band on the 50th Anniversary.
At the age of 13 I was fortunate and blessed to perform at Carnegie Hall in 2006. That same year I had a clinic with Harvard Masterclass with the Music Department.
The next year I had performed in Chicago's Hertiage Festival and won 1st place with my percussion Ensemble and 2nd with my Wind Ensemble.
Not only orchestras have I been to, but I have been to Idllywild Music Academy Summer Program. I was in the Symphony Orchestra and Guest Percussionist for the Symphonic Band in the Summer of 2008.
I was part of the Academy of Business Leadership and was on a team to build our own product, create a business plan and present it to real investors. Our product was an alarm- clock pillow where the alarm was within the pillow radiation free, rechargable batteries, eco-friendly material of hemp, remote control to control vibrations and sound volume. and at $19.99. The alarm clock had the ability to have a traditional sound to wake up to, but as well had the ability to plug in your mp3 player to play any of your songs to wake up to. Our product was a success and won 3rd place of the site of Cal State Fullerton. During the program there included a talent show and I participated. It was also a success I had won the instrumental music part of the show playing Yellow After The Rain by Mitchell Peters. On graduation day with all the black gowns watching and 1200 people watching I had played my solo for the Academy of Business Leadership.
I attended Diamond Bar High School for my freshmen year and sophmore year and was involved in the Thundering Herd Marching Band playing Pit, DBHS Drumline, and the Performing Arts Academy.
However, I wanted to broadan my dream even further. I decided to transfer schools to Orange County High School of the Arts. I study Instrumental Music under Percussion and was Principal Percussionists for the Wind Ensemble and was involved in the Symphony Orchestra. I was there for half a semester before I was seriously ill in the hospital twice and missed so much school that I coulnd't go back. I now am taking online courses to make up credit and not repeat another year and continue on to be a SENIOR at last.
I have been extremely blessed to tour with the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra to BULGARIA! we will be touring June 2011. Stick around for the details and journeys of that (;
Naturally, you think I am a classical fanatic, haha i probably am but do hear me out that I am a person who wants YOU happy. I am a person you can tell your secrets to and my mouth will tell no one. I am person who believes EVERYONE has a talent we just must find it. I'm a person who is very sociable and someone you can be open to.
On the side, I and with the partnership of my Father I want to make a Non-Profit Organization called "Music for Humanity" Stick around so when I have my offical Mission Statement I will post it up.
Not only that, but I wish to be a MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER. I love to help people and take off my own jacket so someone else maybe be warm. Sometimes I try too hard to help people when they have no compassionate within them to let out. However, I feel for people daily, watching people that are sad and I just want to help them in any way I can. I do enjoy talking and maybe instead of just talking i could change people's lives through talking.
I WANT to change people's lives.
Now I STILL continue my music, and I'm not done yet. And all I will do is GLORIFY God is everything I have done.
"It's not about the destination, but about the journey"
Until next time,
