Info from Licensor: "I've been playing violin since I was 3 years old, so 27 years. Playing for the turtles was a total accident. I went to my favorite park to film some content just playing violin by the water, and I saw a single turtle swimming around. I decided to play him a song, and me and the turtles have been friends ever since. The first time I played for them, they seemed very curious and excited that I was there! 1 turtle turned into 10 turtles quickly. They were inquisitive and seemed to enjoy the music. I was surprised by their reaction. I've never experienced animals reacting to my music like that in real time. it was really cool and made me happy to connect with them in that way. I've played for them just three times so far, but I plan to play for them a lot more. People have reacted with a lot of its been a lot of shock and awe. a lot of positivity, saying the videos made their day, made them believe in magic, a lot of people asking how I discovered this skill. A lot of ppl calling me a multiclass druid and bard, or the turtle whisperer. There are also those that are assuming the turtles are just coming up for food. whether that's the case or not, it sure feels like they stick around to hear the music."
