Throughout my 21 years of life I have held on to my father’s philosophy: “The most terrifying experiences are the most rewarding.” This certainly held true when I played an original song of mine called “Pretty Girl” in the spotlight, 500 shadowy faces looking back at me, and the one and only John Mayer casually perched to my right.

One month ago I was crossing the stage at Agganis Arena. I collected my diploma, shook hands with Berklee President Roger H. Brown, snapped a selfie with Todd Rundgren and Lionel Richie, and was on my way to start the rest of my life. The very next morning I said my goodbyes and left Boston for what I thought would be forever. Little did I know that while I was unpacking my things in my new Nashville, Tennessee, home, I’d get an email from Pat Pattison asking if I’d be willing to come back to play a show with John Mayer. Without even fully processing it all, I had a flight back to Boston.

Getting the chance to meet and perform for John Mayer is a rare and incredible opportunity. I have been a fan of his music for a long time and to be in his company, let alone have the chance to play my own song for him, was actually a little nerve racking. Until three weeks ago I had never imagined that this could happen.

Todo mundo sabe que a Berklee é atualmente a maior faculdade de música contemporânea do mundo atual. Mas talvez você não saiba que muitos (repito, muitos) músicos renomados estudaram lá. Eu mesmo conheci a Berklee quando fui procurar a biografia dos membros da banda Dream Theater, sendo John Petrucci, John Myung e Mike Portnoy alunos da Berklee no começo dos anos 80.
