Jazz has always been the most fun style of music for him to play and composition will be his main path of study at Boston Conservatory at Berklee. Music is huis life, and jazz is his love; he looks forward to improving his craft and expanding his horizons on the saxophone and in jazz composition for the rest of his life.
RYLEE BASKETT
A six year vocalist, Rylee will be attending Florida State University with a major in civil-environmental engineering and hopefully have the opportunity to come back to Brevard County and help promote low impact development. She will also focus on her outside interests such as Jazz.
