Introduction
Extremely cheesy, extremely necessary, my first post:
I have been creating music since I learned how to aggravate my teachers by making drum beats with a Bic pen in elementary school. Once I was gifted a keyboard for my birthday followed by a guitar for Christmas and I was officially taking my relationship with music from an admiration level to wanting to be a part of it. Being an only child (barring a few step-siblings), I have always seen music as my sibling. Music has always been my escape, my release, my passion and my friend. In so many ways it has shaped my personality, worldview, and drive. Having a family that has a shortage of role models, I look up to so many singers, song-writers, producers, musicians, etc., for hope, for motivation, for releasing anger, for relaxation, for truth, for inspiration, for information, for relief, for rest, for sleep, for entertainment, and for so many other reasons. I hope that I can affect others the way I have been affected by music and I feel that I owe myself to music for what it has done for me and because of my passion for it. Because of my desire to be a part of what music does for everyone, I have been writing music over the past couple of years and have been learning how to self-produce what I write over my acoustic guitar. I have released very little of this material but now have motivation to continue writing and to start working on making what I have written into listenable material that I hope others will love as much as I do. Even if I am the only one who finds joy in my music, then so be it, at least I tried.
