About Me

I've played music my whole life and the most important thing i've learned is that you can never learn enough

I was born in Dublin, Ohio in 1992. My parents   quickly decided they wanted a musician in the family and i was thrust into piano lessons at the age of 5, much to my dismay. A year after, I became a big brother when Danny Salomone was born. 

Throughout my childhood, music was always on the back burner, besides, riding my bike with my friends sounded much more appealing. In my teenage years I was turned on to hard rock and heavy metal, thus beginning my interest in guitars, distortion and head-banging. I started taking guitar lessons at the age of 13 and realized i really loved to play music. I continued piano lessons as well and I learned jazz, classical, modern, rag time and other styles but still did not have much interest for it, especially during my rock phase. 


I began high school in 2008 and loved it. I was on the football team all four years and lettered in both football and track. But music was still always on the back-burner for me. It doesn't exactly seem like the coolest thing to play piano when you're a jock in high school. 


I finally decided to quit piano lessons after 11 long years, and it was great. I was free from the constraints of practicing and going to lessons every week, piano had become a chore. Towards the end of high school I played guitar and sang in a stereotypical garage band with some friends and we had a blast, but as i headed to college i thought music would be in the past. 


I packed up and headed 400 miles down to Murfreesboro, Tn where i began my college experience at Middle Tennessee State University. I decided to be a recording industry major because i was interested in producing and recording music, and i was on the right track. After my first semester, as my taste in music changed and broadened, I realized my parents had given me the greatest gift. I finally realized that music is what i'm good at, and what i love to do, and not a lot of people can say that. 


I began writing, singing and playing all the time, music became my outlet, piano was no longer a chore, but a hobby. I changed my major during my sophomore year to digital media communication because I wanted to explore more career possibilites that had to do with digital art and media. I still can't say i know what i want to do after college but i know I love art, music and media. Regardless of my major or career i will always play music, and i will always love music.

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.

-Plato
