Hobbies & Interests

Music is one of my biggest passions — I enjoy the full creative process from writing and singing to producing, mixing, and mastering tracks. Working across different genres has sharpened my ear for detail and my ability to see a project through from concept to finished product.

Outside of music, I'm an avid gamer. Video games have long been a source of inspiration and a way to disconnect, and I appreciate them both as an art form and as a medium that pushes the boundaries of technology and storytelling.
