I can't actually remember the first time I met Ali. I'm sure it was at random community event. He later joined the Sessions LA staff as one of the instructors. During the academic year I check in with the Sessions LA youth and provide them with college counseling. It's fun to sit in and watch the Sessions LA instructors do their thing with the youth. As a self proclaimed music nerd it's crazy to see these kids develop their talents and broaden their music knowledge. Ali is a good dude and I'm super stoked to have gotten the chance to have him do an Oblivious Interview!
