Song Writing

I'm horrible at singing and so untalented when it comes to rapping I can only do covers of songs. Luckily, I've become just as talented at writing song lyrics as I am at writing poems. Poetry and music are one in the same. Music with lyrics wouldn't exist if it weren't for poems. As I like to do with some of my poetry, I write song lyrics and sell them to artists who sing, rap, etc.

If you have the voice and the thoughts but can't find the words, I'm the one you can call. If you have feelings you're having difficulty expressing, I'm able to bring them to life one line at a time. Whether it be a loss or a gain. A moment of sunshine or rain. Whether it be love and nonviolence. Speaking up; refusing to be silenced.

No matter the subject, I'll write so you can jump on the mic.

I originally only wrote poems. It was a way to release all the thoughts and feelings I was harboring inside since I didn't really have anyone I could go an talk to. There were a select few people who were genuinely there and wanted to help me, but weren't able to because of my parents not wanting them to step in and do so. Poetry had become a form of therapy and also allowed me to discover a talent I wasn't aware that I have.

If I had known back then that I would turn this into apart of my career/business, I would've began working towards that sooner than later. I didn't initially realize how many opportunities there were for writers in general. Though it was tough to get into in the beginning, I'm glad I chose to stick with it. Not only have I pushed to improve, I've pushed myself to write in areas I haven't before. No one should want to be a one trick pony.
