As an artist myself, i have always enjoyed writing music and singing. Never did i think it would appear to be a hobby and actually end up doing it to pursue as a career. At 16 i started recording music trying to get people to listen, and see where it takes me. At the age of 18 i almost got a deal, but the people i was surrounded by were trying to change everything about me. Seems that they liked the way i sang, but wanted to change me as an artist. From the way i looked and from the music i was singing. They wanted me to sing songs i did not approve of. It felt like everyone was against me instead of helping me. Unfortunately, i did not pursue my career with the deal i was offered. Because i believe as an artist, i will not let anyone take my artistic ways and change me in any way.
I live and breath music, that even though i am not pursuing it as a career, I'm still writing and singing. Although there is no money involve, i am doing it for the love of it. I believe that everyone should do what they love for the passion and not for the money. Because when you do something you love, you won't have to work for the rest of your life. At least it wont feel like a job. Music plays a big role in a lot of people's lives, and i think that the music we listen to should be positive and somehow help us in a positive way. Instead the hip-hop industry seems to be doing otherwise. If we dont start making moves on our own, no one else will do it for us.
