Music has always been an important outlet for me, ever since I was a teenager and initially started being depressed. At the time, I didn't understand what was happening to me, all I knew was my music was the only thing that made sense. It became a kind of religion to me: listening when I was experiencing any range of emotion, watching videos of my favorite bands to make me happy, believing that the artisits were my friends since I had no good ones in real life, and going to concerts to have something to look forward to, which I desperately needed because it was hard to find reasons to get through another day.
I became a songwriter because I want to change other people's lives the way music has changed mine. Sometimes I think that if I wasn't a musician, I'd just be some overdramatic crazy person. However, persuing a career in music is one of the hardest things to do. So often I find myself at a loss as to where I'm suppossed to be, who I'm suppossed to be learning from, and what I'm supposed to be doing. Right now I'm in college, studying music, but I'm still trying to find the ultimate path my life will take.
