Calabasas High senior Elie Samouhi, who considers himself a music producer, performer and writer of songs, got to do his own two-minute concert in front of fans on Friday night before the Los Alamitos-Calabasas football game.
He played the national anthem on his electric guitar. And it was good.
Like a coach trying to give his student confidence, Samouhi’s teacher kept telling him before he began, “You got this.”
You could see how much he enjoyed the spotlight during the rendition.
Samouhi said he’s been playing guitar since he was 5. He’s 18 and hopes to attend USC or NYU.
It was another positive experience during high school sports competition.
