3. Music

2017 - Present

I started playing the violin when I was seven years old. I play violin in multiple local bands, play guitar, violin, and sing in my band, Spoils, and write and record violin solos and freelance compositions. Below is my discography of personal and featured projects.

Spoils

Spoils is my band and personal creative project that I work on with my three friends. I write our lyrics and music and contribute to instrument arrangements. I also create most if not all of the artwork associated with the band, including album art, merch, and print zines. Our sophomore EP “Nothing For a Man” was released on August 18, 2023 on Happy Families.
