“I always had a lot of energy when I was in school, and it was hard for me to focus until I picked up an instrument. And I was able to focus on that and show my love for drums and keyboard, and once I did that I was able to excel more in school, so I think it's definitely important for you to keep your musical instruments and stuff in school. It helps you with your other work - you can have something to help you focus. It's definitely important to me.”
