Snyder had the privilege of being able to learn music both at school and at home and his love for music continued on past his childhood. It gave him a ticket out of Michigan to see the world.

“I got the chance to travel out west with a musical group in college,” he said. “I have traveled all over southeast Michigan, 16 other states, as well as Ireland and Thailand giving concerts. I have seen places I never thought I would see. Music has opened up so many doors.”
