Now in its’ 8th year, VIENNA IDOL has raised over $80,000 for the KHRISTIN KYLLO MEMORIAL FUND, sending several young people to college, purchasing Epilepsy Seizure Bracelets and Monitoring for those who can’t afford them, and donating funds for SUDEP research.

What is your favorite thing about School of Rock Vienna?
My favorite thing about School of Rock Vienna is how accepting it is and I won't be judged. Everyone is super nice and willing to help!
What is one of your favorite things you’ve learned from your time here so far?
My favorite thing I have learned at School of Rock is stage presence with your songs. I used to struggle with this a lot, so hopefully now I don't look frozen on stage.

What advice would you give to all the new SOR student musicians? 
Don't be nervous about what everyone thinks. Do everything to the best of your abilities and you will have fun. Don't give up no matter how hard it gets because you can do this!
Top 5 Bands/Artists You Love:
1. Linkin Park
2. Aerosmith
3. Coldplay
4. Led Zeppelin
5. Heart
If you could be in any band or artist (past or present) who would it be and why?
I would be in Heart because I love how their voices blend and I have a similar voice type.
