Laurell x 25 x Singer/Songwriter x Papua New Guinea
Music is my therapy. It is food to the soul - and I am full when I listen to music, play music, or write music.
My main music dream is to become a successful international recording artist.
I would start with myself. As a musician, I my songs can feed someone's soul and help them change. As masses of people listen to my music and as it inspires them, they are able to change and become better people.
The most memorable song from my childhood would be Big Brovaz - Baby Boy.
I have so many favorite musical artists and bands from various genres including gospel, soul, R&B, pop, rock, country, jazz, etc. Including Mariah Carey, Adele, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, JoJo, Jessica Mauboy, Kiana Lede, Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye West, William Singe, 3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Parachute Band, Stacie Orrico, Rachael Lampa, Bruno Mars, Carrie Underwood, and the list goes on and on....
It is my passion. My personal experiences and those of others allow me to write music and express myself through it which can be very inspiring and rewarding in a way.
Music has to be real so that it can be felt within the soul and not just in the ears.
I feel at home when I'm on stage. It's like I was always meant to do this.
Musicians in America have a better chance of living the high life than in other countries. In PNG, there is not much of a music industry here but because local musicians love to make music - we do it as a passion and not for money. I believe our PNG Government would have a big impact on the musicians in the country if they did give a little attention to us.
Oh Drooble is an amazing site for musicians! Kudos to whoever created Drooble - Lord bless your heart!
As a musician, piracy frustrates me the most because musicians go out of their way to making an album and fans simply download for free which is pretty uncalled for.
Yes I do support my local country fellow musicians and follow their music all the time by downloading and checking to see which songs are the latest here in my country, PNG.
They should be internet savvy so that they can utilize the internet and social media to their advantage and to its full potential.
In my local country of PNG, we have many amazing male and female artists but my favorite of them all would be Mereani Masani. I follow her music all the time.
