Hotshot #4

“Two days after my senior showcase, I got an email inviting me to audition for Hamilton. Crazy thing is, the morning of my audition, my car got towed with my resume, my headshot and my book with all my music in it. I was freaking out that I would look so unprofessional. It was early in the morning, the audition was downtown, and I was staying with a friend in the Bronx. There was no time to think, so I took a train into the city. When I got there, I explained my situation, but that I was ready to audition and so I went for it. Several months and 7 call-backs later, I got it. It was crazy.

There’s a lot of stuff that I want to do. I want to do movies and television. I write poetry. I write and produce my own music. I love singing and I also wanted to dance to my music and start performing for people. Doing musical theatre gave me plenty of ballet and classical training. I’m loving it all. And I love to use @dollopcoffeeco as a workspace for my projects!”
