I think that arts and creativity allow for progress and change. A lot of the fundamentals of the arts, especially modern and contemporary styles, revolve around breaking boundaries, challenging the status quo, and defying stereotypes. With that in mind, the arts can be applied to our social life, as they can criticize or praise certain aspects of our society that the artist may deem as progressive or counterprogressive. Creativity in the arts can also allow for the blending of traditional ideas or concepts, which once again, can relate to cultural and societal ideologies that may have never been challenged until now. Experiences I hope to gain through my collaboration with The Creative Process would be to understand what goes into curating an art installation, how to get involved with soundscape curators/DJ’s in the art/museum scene, and how to pursue a professional future outside of America.

My one wish would be that everyone becomes more willing to learn. I think we can do this as a society by changing the way we react to those we perceive as “wrong”. For example, instead of ostracizing your friend who said something offensive to you, talking to them or giving them guidance towards more education is much more effective and positive in the end, even if it may be hard to confront someone who has unintentionally hurt or wronged you.

Recently I’ve decided to delve deeper into gaining a deeper understanding of the musical industry as well as music itself as I see myself working in the media industries in the future. With that in mind, I committed to learning Logic Pro X and Ableton Live, which are multitrack audio recording and production softwares, with the intention of making music, and since then, I have released a few demo tracks. I have also reached out to a friend of mine who recently started his own record label (Busy Bee Records), and was invited on board as a musical artist, which will help connect me to other musicians interested in the same genres as me. One career path that has especially interested me is being an A&R scout, and I hope that through Radio K starting up again soon (hopefully), I will further my experiences in the media industries. I plan on going back to school when September rolls around and becoming more involved in community outreach organizations that gravitate towards environmentalism and food sustainability.
