LIVING IN A WORLD OF IMPROVISATION—As a writer, entrepreneur, and music enthusiast, improvisation holds a special place in my life, letting melodies flow naturally. I first picked up the guitar in junior high and played through college before completely quitting playing for almost two decades. In mid-2024, I reunited with my six-string, rediscovering the joy of music and exploring other instruments. I also do some covers, though many are infused with my own improvisational twists. Aside from my deep connection to the world of blues, I'm also a big fan of The Rolling Stones, particularly their guitarist Keith Richards, so you'll find me doing some covers of their songs. Travel is another passion. On this channel, I blend music and exploration, with words expressed in description, sharing guitar performances set to my travel photos. Many pieces are improvised, so as to reflect my life philosophy: "Going with the flow and embracing the unexpected."
