My love for songwriting began at age 13 when I wrote by first song, but my love for music began well before that. I guess you could say it originated before I was even born as my mom tells me she sang all the time while she was pregnant with me. I will never forget, it was one day while sitting in my math class. I completely lost track of what the teacher was saying, and I just began writing down words. They began as random sentences about how I was feeling at the moment. But then I found that those sentences and words began to rhyme. It felt a bit weird at first, but then it became therapeutic. I honestly believe that your destiny and what is meant to be, finds a way to intervene before you lose your purpose. Your purpose grabs the steering wheel and guides you to where you need to be. I spent many years pursuing educational goals, obsessed with the idea of stability. But now I am pursuing my passion, doing what I love.
