I am 25 years old. I grew up in Chicago and love making music. I often play guitar or piano at SYM events. I have family back in Chicago and visit them from time to time. I love playing electric guitar on the street. I use the money people give me to buy batteries for my amplifier and strings for my guitar.What are your plans?
I am looking forward to SXSW here in Austin*. I plan to travel after SXSW. I hope to own a recording studio one day.
*the interview was before SXSW this year
How long has SYM been serving you?
For a little more than 2 years.
What is your favorite SYM Event?
I really like the Wednesday night fellowship event.
What do you with SYM could do that it doesn't?
I think I speak for lots of people when I say showers are really hard to find. If you could find a way to help us get access to showers and have a place to store our things safely while we take them, that would be a great service. I have trouble keeping my guitar safe at the one or two places I know to take a [shower] now, for instance.
What are you selecting for your prize?
I looked at everything on Amazon. It's amazing what you can buy: cheap food, wine, and lots of stuff. I though maybe I would buy batteries or guitar strings, but then I decided I should get something I can't find on the street. I selected three books by one of my favored authors. I didn't want to buy something I can just check-out at the library. To stretch my prize money, I picked used books so I could get all three of the books I haven't read by this author I like.
