NJMP Membership Tier Explanation

I am a well-rounded musician who later became a Podcast and Music Producer. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Production from Full Sail University, and I have experience in beats, mixing, and mastering. Before attending Full Sail, I lacked confidence in my abilities. However, enrolling in the program helped me become more skilled and confident in music production.

My musical journey began at Morning Star Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, where I was a drummer for several years. During high school, I transitioned to keyboards and started singing with a quartet group called The Voices of Morning Star, which was founded by my late uncle Dennis Barrino. I also played the trumpet from elementary school through my senior year of high school and began playing the tuba in tenth grade.

Throughout high school and college, I was an All-American Track and Field athlete, specializing in hurdles and short and long distances. After graduating from the University of South Carolina, I returned to Charlotte and attended the Just 4 U Barber & Styling Academy. Since then, I have been working as a barber while continuing to pursue my passion for music.
