Get to know Spencer Pratt
During his younger years as a musician, he began to play the clarinet. Once he reached high school, he began to dive into the percussion family. This is where he began doing marching band and orchestral percussion. He continued this and decided to become a music major in 2018. As he began playing more music his love for jazz flourished, he always enjoyed playing it, but he wanted to focus on other things. It wasn’t until 2020 that he decided to pursue his master’s in jazz studies. This led to him performing at jazz jams and playing several gigs.
