About Jukebox Alchemist Some people learn to play guitar. Some grow up singing. I was the kid who couldn’t draw, couldn’t carry a tune, and never quite fit into the traditional definition of an artist. What I did have was an imagination that never shut off. I grew up surrounded by creativity. My mom was a teacher, a scrapbooker, and one of those people who could turn ordinary moments into something worth remembering. I spent years in theater, fascinated by storytelling, emotion, and the way a song or a scene could make people feel something real.
