I'm a cellist for any kind of event. I currently am pursuing my Bachelors of Music Performance at Azusa Pacific University. Yo hablo español si necesitas. I play anything from the Bach Suites and Celtic Tunes to covers of pop songs such as Secrets by One Republic, and A Thousand Years by Christina Perri.
