My Hobbies

Drawing

Drawing is a hobby of mine that I've been passionate about for as long as I could remember. A story my mom loves to tell is that I would draw behind the paper placemats at every cafe and she would collect every single one of them. When going through the stack of papers there must have been hundreds of them with very basic drawings from when I was four years old.

As I grew older, I was constantly drawing. Doodles would fill every margin of my notes in class and I would get in trouble for turning in a "messy" assignment. Because I would mainly draw in classes, I grew to love drawing in ballpoint pen and its now my medium of choice.

DJing

I just recently have been getting into DJing. I started producing music and beats with my friends in middle school but have never really taken music that seriously.

Just in the last few months however, I've been starting to watch more and more dj sets on Youtube and I started to imagine and think of random transitions that got me really excited to start mixing on my own. Especially as I went to more college parties, I started to really pay attention to the DJs and I was super motivated to start DJing on my own.

I tried downloading a virtual DJ program on my VR headset and I started to regularly practice. Just in the last month, I bought a professional DJ contoller and have been spending a lot of time mixing in my dorm room. Hopefully, I could get good enough to DJ at events but for now its just a developing hobby.
