Liam Luong
At just 12 years old, Liam has already developed a passion for music and performing. He plays the trumpet, guitar, and drums, and loves sharing his talents with the community. When he's not making music, you'll find him on the basketball or soccer field, performing in theater, reading history books, or trying out new recipes in the kitchen. With his quick wit and great sense of humor, Liam brings joy both on and off the stage.
