Stories!
My mom likes to tell these stories when we have company because they make her feel like I’m special when it comes to music. When I was four years old, my family took me to see fireworks on the Fourth of July. When I said, “Mommy, the colours are so pretty,” she replied, “The fireworks are pretty, sweetheart.” Then, I said, “No, Mum, the music.” I was...
Who Some of my Inspirations/Idols are and why.
Tre Cool - When I was four, I heard him play drums in When I Come Around. I’ve told this story before, but that’s why he’s my idol. Avril Lavigne - She does what she loves. She’s a punk girl like I am and doesn’t care what people think. Simple Plan - I’ve always been inspired by them. I can relate to their songs and they know how to write them to both appeal to...
When I Started to Write.
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was about seven years old, and have always been told I am a talented writer. When I was about nine or ten years old, I had this overwhelming inspiration to write songs and music. Now, after almost seven years, I have bookshelves filled with notebooks that are just for my music and lyrics. Now, I’m not saying that they are all neccessarily good...

Singing - My mother is a very talented singer, so I took after her in that every time a good song came on, I would just sing as loud and with as much feeling as I could. I have always wanted to be a singer, whether it be in a band, on broadway, or...
I'm going to post an original song in a few...
So, the song I’m about to post (as soon as it’s done processing), is entitled Your Lies. I wrote it a year and a half/two years ago after a really rough breakup. This boy and I had dated for a little while, and I found out that he lied about ever loving me in the first place. He took my heart and strung me along and then stomped on my feelings. So I took all of the truth and emotion...
What am I all about?
I am all about the music. I started off when I was four years old. I heard the song When I Come Around by Green Day and the drum fills inspired me. That was when I asked my parents to get me a drum set. From that point on, music was my entire life. I sing and have since taught myself how to play the drums, acoustic guitar, electric keyboard, electric bass, and have received lessons for the...
