“A girl who would want nothing more than to keep playing and listening to music.”

Her whole life revolving around music, Olivia finds it hard to keep herself from playing music when she has to prioritize other things such as school, homework and martial arts. 

She has been playing at the Poway Farmers Market for more than three years and still takes every chance to go there and play music. 

“Music is a part of you, the definition of music is different for everyone. For me, when I play my instrument at the farmers market, I think about all the homeless dogs and cats that the donated money greatly supports.”
