Craft
As a professional musician, even in media scoring,
I value craft the most because strong musical technique gives me more control over expression.
For me, technique is not about showing complexity,
but about making clearer artistic choices.
Emotional Integrity
As a media composer,
I value emotional integrity because music should communicate something human.
Even when I use complex techniques,
I want the result to connect to the story,
the world,
and the player’s emotional experience.
Growth
As an artist and a human being,
I value growth because the field of music as a whole requires constant learning.
My time at Berklee has shown me that becoming a professional is not about already knowing everything,
but about building the ability to keep improving.
