Music gives voice to my emotions that I've never been able to speak about.
My dream is to find people for form a band and to eventually start to record our own songs.
I would have everyone truly be allowed to have equal voices in everything.

Daily life. There is SO much that we pass by each day because of our "routine". It's important to stop and look to each side of us during our day.
To the person out there listening...you are not alone. Someone has felt what you are feeling right now and it's going to be okay.
Like I can fly.
The music industry has turned it's back on musicians.It's pretty much impossible to earn a living from recordings anymore. And its almost as difficult to earn a living from playing gigs...unless you can fill an arena. The solution is for big business labels and internet companies to PAY musicians their fair share.
I'm digging it so far.
Venues not wanting to pay fair value to performers.
Yes. I attend my musician friends' shows.
Tenacity. Be open to change. Try new things. Honestly listen to what fans want.
