-: Temple gave me a place to start.
So when I got to Temple, it was great
because I found like-minded individuals here.
So there were people that I felt like accepted me,
like I was able to play with my sound.
I was able to walk to class with my, you know,
my stuff, my music in my headphones and write music.
I had, I could take elective courses that could
help me on my craft.
There was a lot of other students here
that did music, so I felt like I had a community
for the first time.
So I really started to find my sound when I came to Temple,
and I really started to find myself as an artist.
And it gave me like the gusto to go out there and hustle.
And you know, okay, I can network.
I'm living in the middle of North Philly, I have to.
So it, you know, kind of pushed me, coming to Temple.
