There are a number of students at Volunteer State Community College who have varying types of talents.
One of these students, Wesley Winters, is a musician who has been earning popularity for some time now.
“I decided to do music when I was 15. I played in a couple talent shows, and when the response was positive, it sparked.”
“Music brings joy to people in a most personal way, and that is what I love to do,” said Winters.
“I’ve been doing this part time for about 4 years. I play a new age sort of blues/rock/soul/folk. Quite a big mix.”
“I’m still trying to pinpoint what type of song I like to play best, but as of right now you can hear a lot of sounds from me.î
Regarding his current success, Winters said that it is hard to take off as a college student, but that he is still focusing on his goals.
ìThe biggest thing I’ve done is play a few shows downtown in Nashville,î said Winters.
Winters also gave mention to a few of his professors that have given him support.
ìI wouldnít say I’ve been particularly pushed by any of the professors here at Vol State, but Lynn Peterson, Ben Graves, and Professor James Story, [department chair of visual and rerforming arts], have all brought a lot of encouragement my way,î said Winters.
For those who are hoping to see Winters perform, he has a few shows coming soon this month.
“I’m playing at a place called the Slider House in the Vanderbilt area off and on,” said Winters.
