This week, The Paly Voice talked with senior Edward Kwiatkowski about his favorite music. Kwiatkowski is pursuing a bachelor’s of music degree in performance guitar at the Los Angeles College of Music. 

“I joined choir in sixth grade but I picked up a guitar when I was 13, so the summer of seventh grade. I’ve been playing for five years now,” Kwiatkowski said. “My favorite song to play on the guitar is probably ‘Had to Cry Today’ by Blind Faith. Music is pretty much most of what I dedicate my time and focus to. There aren’t many other things I can think of that come before music for me.”
