Music..

Wow..Music..Crazy man thats the one constant love of mine that iv had since age 4...i dnt kno maybe when i was a baby i was dancin around maybe kickn n my moms stomach lol..Music is a feeling its a medicine its wats real.

i remember when i was lil my dad always had me singing and we would record video and he would always have me listening to some old skoo jazz or al green and the o' jays lol thats probably why i like oldies so much and man he got me hooked on some anita baker haha..he taught me that listening to all sorts of music would help me with my music because u have the right source the right kinda palet to work on. then my dad sung too see he had one of those smooth idk think of a mixture between barrywhite,blue from the temptations and eddy cane from the 5 heartbeats voices...i loved it.

i accosiate memories with music..seems like at everypoint in my life and every very good or bad memorie had a song to go with it mostly because 1. i was always listening to something and 2. because when i was happy or sad or mad music was my safe place my comfort my joy. so i can listen to mostly any song and think of a time in my past...for example when i listen to the O'jays i think of my dad and going to the bowling alley late at night lol and eats burking and rally's all the time dippn fries in my frosty lol...or lauren hill reminds me of when my brother died..or most rock songs remind me of thoses times in class when me and my friend would just bust out wit some daughtry or something and id start swingin my hair around and most likely we'd all get kicked out of class lol..theres lots.

When i sing i get a release and it makes me feel soo good and free and i dnt kno im so happy..weird but foreal i love listen to my own singing lol on the good days..when i write its mostly about how i feel about something or wats gone on with me or maybe stuff people have told me about..but its all real...realized i can never finish writing a song lol cant concentrate on one song long enuff. But i can sing forever.I love it.

Music can heal any wound..and can change any mood..it can tell the truth...it Can exspress what you cant. Music is Life.

Thats What music Means To Me.
