Hello, friends. My name is Shaniece and I am 17 years old. I have a big family with a lot of girls, I have 4 sisters and one brother. I’m in the middle and that can be hard at times. I grew up in Maryland and moved to Brooklyn when I was 11 years old. Growing up I was always very shy and quiet, and I still am when you first get to know me, but I think I’m starting to grow out of it now. Music and art are my 2 favorite things. I started playing the upright bass about 4 years ago. I had so much fun playing classical music my high school orchestra and the New York All City Orchestra, which is only supposed to be for high school students but maybe I’ll go back this year anyways. I just started playing the bass guitar last year when I got one for Chirstmas, which is also so much fun. And I’ve always liked to draw, and paint, and sculpt. So now that I’m not going to have as much leisure time as I did in high school I really hope that I will be able to make time for the things that I love to do.
