What music do you play? And how the heck do you find time for everything you do?? You basically have my dream job, perhaps one day..

I am a taiko drummer, guitarist (not the best but I get the job done!), singer, and cellist. I'm flexible as far as genres, but I really like singing jazz and bluegrass!

As far as how I get it done, I don't really sleep, honestly, I have some insomnia- which gives me more hours in the day but I don't recommend it, haha. I'm getting a bit better at the work-life balance, but I feel personally connected to and passionate about a lot of my work, so it is a bit difficult. I've always been a very energetic person?

Don't be afraid to reach out to people (even cold-emailing them) who have positions/careers/etc. that you want to get into- you never know what gems of advice they might impart to you, or opportunities you might come across.
