Like many, Montrey started his musical education while engaged in playing classical music in school. What began as a simple adolescent activity, quickly transformed into a deep love and appreciation for all forms of music. This love would continue to grow into his adulthood and manifested itself into the form of becoming a Co-Founder of EARMILK. This online music publication has become his outlet to spread all genres of music to those impressionable people, much like himself.
