What else DO YOU LIKE TO DO?
I am in my school band (saxophone) and orchestra (violin), and I spend most of my other time playing music or my favorite video games and spending time with my parents, pets, and friends. I drove a go cart for the first time last year, and that was AWESOME! I really love cars and games that simulate driving.
Tell us about your band!
I play lead guitar and sing harmony vocals and sometimes lead vocals in my band called Hot Dogs & Gin. My dad is the lead vocalist and plays rhythm guitar, and we also have a drummer, keyboard and harmonica player, and bass player. We play mainly blues and classic rock but also a lot of 80’s rock like Bon Jovi and Guns n Roses. My dad and I also play as a duo when the venue or event calls for it. I have been performing since I was 6 and have played hundreds of shows.
What is your favorite part about performing?
I LOVE when the crowd is really into the show. I love ripping guitar solos and can play some note for note but also improvise and play cover songs my own way. It’s a lot of work lugging equipment around and staying up late on weekends, but it’s also a LOT of fun!
What else should we know?
You should know that I’m also on the autism spectrum, have ADHD, and perfect pitch. I call them my superpowers – they can be a pain at times, but they also help me focus, learn, and play music very easily.
I have a 26-year-old sister, Rhiannon, who lives on her own and I live with my mom and dad. My mom is a Probation Officer, and my dad is a high school Science teacher and musician. I have 2 pets: a Golden Retriever named Gibson and Acat named Tele’cat’ster.
I like to play Minecraft and driving video games, draw, and build with Legos. I like to re-enact my favorite movie and TV scenes with my cars and other miniatures. I am really interested in cars and auto mechanics. I love music, specifically guitar, but I also play ukulele, mandolin, violin, bass guitar, piano, and a little banjo.
