Questions
HC: If you were to give your younger-self a piece of advice, what would it be?
RW: Be yourself and be confident in that. Dream big and don’t let anyone change that. Some friends don’t stick around so treasure the moments you have with them. But especially treasure those that do stick around, because those are the souvenirs you can carry for the rest of your life.
HC: Where do you see yourself a year after graduation?
RW: Hopefully making and recording music for a living.
HC: Why did you decide to attend WPUNJ?
RW: It is a well-known music school, and is close enough from home that I can commute.
HC: What has been your greatest achievement here at WPUNJ?
RW: Probably not failing any classes yet.
