As she grew older, her curiosity led her to the exciting world of emo music in middle school, driven by experiences from concerts at events like The Warped Tour. It was at Imagine Books, a cozy all-ages venue owned by educator Don Hurd, where she first experienced the DIY music scene in San Antonio, giving her a chance to showcase her talents.
Imagine Books doubled as a quiet bookstore by day and a buzzing music venue at night, cultivating a lively atmosphere for young music lovers and artists alike.
