My name is Gep Traynor, student of IUPUI and that my mission is to commit, create and imagine so that I can improve and show my full self-worth, through spirituality, music and art. What led me to this is that I have been a very creative as a kid, back in my home town Phetchabun, Thailand. This is where I got my interest of playing drums, I would get so inspired by watching bands play and I would just stare at the drummer wishing one day I can do the same. During my free time as a kid I would gather pots and pans at my house set them like a drum set at a place where I think it look like a stage and started banging away, my cousins would also dance and sing along as I played. Sometimes I make toys to play for myself. Once, I made a crutch walker out of wood, where I can stand on the peg it has and walked around on it, makes me look like one of those tall, long legged guys at the circus. At this present time, I think the song that best fits my mission would probably be Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin. This song has multiple factors that relates to me which are, the creativity of song, how it involves a drum solo and how the song is put together, this relates well to my interest in playing drums and music. The main theme of the song involves a whale which somewhat relate to my interests in animal science. An object that symbolizes my life purpose could be a drum set I think that it’s a great symbol that uses creativity and spirituality. I can see myself in the future using my musical skills to teach and inspire others in the future.
