Music and me

 I am Camron Wells,I’ve been involved in music for the longest , being that majority of my family are either singers, instrumenting, or both. I’m the only one who perused music in ed while the rest just use it for church, gigs, and became musicians. I’ve been involved with percussion ever since I was 8. I started out before hand with banging straws, pencils, etc on tables or anything that could make a percussive sound It drove my teachers crazy so memes but it was something that was a part of me. I dabbled a bit in piano, but it was mainly improvised or songs I’ve heard. I tried recorder and more instruments in elementary and middle, my teachers told me I was best at percussion, being I revived the highest grade on the percussion test. Drums, tambourine and some shakers were my first percussion instrument till I reached middle school.  Been in band ever since 6th grade nd marching band ever since 7th. Now I tech and work towards teaching in that same category.

I’ve been involved in music or various ensembles even traveled for music! Met some folks that had music as their everyday life as well.

When I was playing drums for Brazilians dancers, this happened twice a semester, very much a fun time.

Some may know her from tik tok, she lives near the beach and I had her in master class, gave us lessons and it was a pleasure to meet her.

 This was after the rock steel pan cincert

 When it was our first time hosting boa

 Post 23 London new years parade 

 After the percussion ensemble concert and putting the instruments away around 11pm

 My first time in a steel pan band

 That time we went to Hawaii for the bowl, beat their team after folks sworn we would lose

This is the type of music that I have been dealing with recently from a performance stand point, enjoyed every bit of it and some pieces weren’t recorded or taken pictures of

 Second year, I started getting more important roles in world percussion

 Me performing in marching band, was a fun season. 

This is my go to type of song that gets my spirits up, I discovered this song recently and it’s a vibe. Had this on repeat and pretty much played this song at the start of my day.

A song that is meaningful is one that speaks to you and still hypes you up at the same time 

A song that someone put me on but I just can’t vibe with it that much..I would have to be in a giving mood or playing drumset. I’ll admit, it is pretty groovey, so im not trashing it too much. Just wouldn’t listen to it on the regular.
