+ I am 22 years old.
+ Yes. I know I look like I'm only in high school.
+ Music is a huge passion for me.
+ I feel I'm always improving myself.
+ I do plan on recording and releasing a CD *real soon: meaning by next year sometime.* [2 songs down, 8 more to go!]
short bio:
I just graduated UHM, with my degree in elementary education! I am now a highly qualified teacher! - Just waiting for them to send me my license! Music will always be apart of my life, and so will songwriting, and I do plan on continuing what I'm doing with it. =)
I'm a solo performer, but feature friends from time to time. I currently do gigs with the rest of my fellow Oahu Songwriters Group family. There are showcases the last Tuesday of every month, however I don't always play; sometimes just there to support the rest of the songwriters. :) Hopefully you'll be able to come down to one of the shows! =D
My inspiration for songwriting comes from the initial feelings and thoughts that I experience at the time I am writing a new song. Most of it involves love, which to me is one of the strongest emotions we human beings experience on a daily basis. I'm proud and happy to include this emotion in all of my songs, whether it be about discovering love, losing love, or yearning for love. *My view on sharing my music? - It isn't about popularity. It's about loving what I do, and being able to share it with those who love it too.
So keep an eye out for more material, along with glimpses of my life through my music.
