Nerd Junkie
I am a 23 year old student, concert pianist, listener of all music, hip hop fanatic and budding producer. I am a self-professed nerd and pseudo-Buddhist, but who likes labels anyway?
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have played in many recitals as well as a few big concert events. I would say that my most special event was performing the Rachmaninov Second Piano concerto in front of a few thousand people. The thrill of being on stage and having people stand up and applaud you because of your talent, is a feeling that is indescribable and never gets old.
