Hey, I'm Raff! I'm a full-time music streamer from the northeast United States. I got into Twitch through speedrunning Ocarina of Time before moving on to Star Fox 64 scoreruns and then to competitive Melee but now I primarily do music streams. My main focus is classical guitar which I studied in college with a repertoire that contains pieces from all over the world spanning more than 500 years. I also sing from a list of hundreds of songs in multiple genres, styles, and languages (English, French, Spanish, Armenian, and Latin). Along with playing guitar and singing, I often improvise on both the guitar and piano combining my knowledge of theory and composition to create a specific mood or setting, sometimes even as the background music for videos being shown on stream. My passion for education and years of teaching heavily influence the streams with time taken to analyze the pieces being played, dissecting them and discussing what makes them sound the way they do and make the listener feel the way they do. At times it can also be things like the composers, styles, instruments, or aspects of music theory and history that are the basis of the discussion. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a wide variety of musical content while fostering a caring community of people from all different walks of life!
