IF I HAD TO WORK A 9-5 I CAN SEE MYSELF DOING ANYTHING THAT DEALS WITH MUSIC...FROM WORKING AT A MUSIC STORE, 2 A MUSIC DEPARTMENT, ETC..AS LONG AS IT INVOLVES MUSIC OR ANYTHING OF THAT SORT, THEN A 9-5 ISN'T SO BAD.. (Lol)

*WHAT DO YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE, WHAT WOULD TRULY MAKE YOU HAPPY?

ALL I EVER WANTED WAS TO BE HEARD.. I BELIEVE EVERY ONE HAS SOMEEE TYPE OF WAY THAT THEY EXPRESS THEMSELVES & I ALWAYS FELT THAT EVERYONE HAS A STORY TO TELL AND MY WAY OF DOING SO IS THROUGH MY MUSIC. & I KNOW THAT ONCE I REACHED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LISTENERS WHICH MEANS I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT KIND OF INFLUENTIAL MUSIC THERE IS OUT HERE IF YOU NEVER TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN.. (Generally Speaking), BUT ALL I WANT, AND ALL THAT WILL TRULY MAKE ME HAPPY IS OTHERS TAKING THE TIME 2 LISTEN!

*WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU LOVED MUSIC MORE THEN THE AVERAGE PERSON?

I REALIZED I LOVED MUSIC WHEN I STARTING PUTTING CERTAIN THINGS TO THE SIDE JUST TO LISTEN & TO CREATE IT..FROM MISSING FAMILY EVENTS, TO CHRISTMAS, TO MY BIRTHDAY, TO NEW YEARS, ETC..ONCE I REALIZED HOW I WASN'T PARTICIPATING IN MANY DIFFERENT EVENTS (school, family events, peer events. etc), THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT I RATHER DO NOTHING BUT OBSERVE, LISTEN, AND LEARN HOW 2 CREATE UNDENIABLE MUSIC!..(ALSO WHEN I FOUND OUT I LOVE MUSIC..@ AGE 15 BELIEVE!
