The "X" Factor

One day, while browsing through his iPod library, Sterling Maffe noticed that there were not songs that started with the letter 'X'. Maffe had a newfound interest in composing, so he decided to write a piece that would fix his problem.

​

At 9:37 AM on December 5, 2010, after several days of slaving away, Maffe (14-years old) finished his first composition simply titled "X." That's when the door to the wondrous world of music was opened, and Maffe started down the path toward a career in composition.
