Music is life. It allows me to transport myself and my audience to another dimension. It's my soap box, how I express myself freely and share the message of love and life lived imperfectly.
Record an album with Lauryn Hill or have Alicia Keys sing one of my songs.
Music, specifically hip hop and rap. I'd get rid of mumble rap for sure, music without a message is just empty sound.

The fact that I'm still on earth..... with the life I've lived, being here is a blessing, why not write about it.
Acceptance and Love
Energized, excited and hype. I get an indescribable joy when I perform and the audience can feel that and respond likewise.
The world is out oyster with the given technology today. Shows like the voice and AGT allow people to get exposure but the show Songland is a game changer for us writers. More shows that put the writer on display would be great!!
I think it's dope that you created a platform that allows musicians and artists to get their music out there in a streamlined way.
Not having enough time to create or hearing sounds in my head that I can't reproduce or recreate outside of it.
I support local artists by interviewing them and sharing their art as well as attending their shows and buying merch.
