Just Press Play

Music.

From a young age, most of us are thrown into it. Maybe it's the piano, singing lessons or blowing your heart out into a recorder in grade school. No matter the type, there's something about a beat that can take you to another place.

Music is one of the most natural forms of releasing any stress or anxiety that life seems to build.

You're allowed to emerse yourself into a world of pure bliss; and that's priceless.

Growing up in Ann Arbor, it's hard not to walk downtown and hear music flowing through the air. It seems to lighten the mood and force smiles on the faces of people walking past.

Pain, success, happiness, sadness-- can all be said through a single note.

Maybe that's why music is a natural escape.


Music led me to explore the guitar-- something I still practice to this day. Something I can't see myself without.


Although I love pressing play and signing along on Pandora theres something about strumming the strings myself that allows a new form of release.
