“I embody a propensity for adaptability; this characteristic propels me to continually embrace novelty in life, yet paradoxically, I can also exhibit a streak of conservatism, remaining within familiar confines.

At this pivotal juncture, I endeavor to synthesize these diverse potentials in pursuit of my distinct composer’s voice.”
