My goal is to be able to share my music on a global scale where it can financially support me as well.<\/p>\n<p>I like to create lyrics in the dark where there are no distractions. The only thought in my head is the story that I am expressing through songwriting. I pair the lyrics with an instrumental track that I feel matches its tone. \u00a0If the lyrics have verbs like cry or pain, I pick instrumentals that are moderate to slow tempos to match their dark tone. I know that I am successful when I feels chills with the music or feel an emotional attachment.<\/p>\n<p>My newest single called &#8220;I Be the Best&#8221;, explores a happier and more confident version of myself. My prior work has been inspired from sad times in my life and I am ready to share happier music, moving away from slow tempos to something more upbeat. It will also be very enjoyable to perform this song live with choreography.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><strong>Resum\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>About<\/p>\n<p>Highly motivated, self-guided individual with superior organizational and management skills, along with enhanced analytical thinking and critical eye\/ear attributes.
