Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. No one told me that I should start writing music. I’ve always been extremely poetic with my writing. My sister is actually a writer/author and has written many essays and books. I always wondered if I take after her with my writing songs. I’ve always been writing since I was 11 years old. I am definitely inspired by many songwriters such as Mil

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. Since a little kid, I was involved in Praise and Worship in my parents' church back in my country. Songs have been always a great way for me to connect to God . Having my own, has been a blessing to be able to put into melody messages that God has been giving me throughout the years. One thing I should mention is that, after my 1st wife suddenl

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. It seems I came out of the womb, as a singer! :) I never wanted to do ANYTHING else...When adults would ask me "what do you want to be when you grow up" I would reply "A Singer" They would always say "You can't be that" Then I'd say," An Actress!" ... The conversation would continue back and forth, but I was relentless. Let's get this out of th

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. Looking back, I was just thirteen when I started my original music, so all my songs were about Los Angeles, life as an entertainer, and my first crush. My music was centered around life experiences at that age. Let's get this out of the way. What is the CRAZIEST thing that has ever happened to you in your music career? Probably seeing my initia

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. Alongside performing music, growing up, I played soccer every weekend. Unfortunately, I tore my ACL and meniscus my junior year of high school, which ended my soccer dreams but really ignited my love for music! At a school performance senior year, I met my producer, Mark Vogel, and I have been working with him on my new EP ever since! Let's get

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. Music was my first language. As a child I did not talk until I was 3, but I had a magnetic attraction to pianos. As a toddler, I would toddle my way to any piano I could find, and start writing music. I can literally say I was "born with the music inside." I bought my own guitar when I was 11, and taught myself to play. I then had an instr

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. I have always felt called to music even being a baby and my dad singing me Loggins and Messina in my crib. I think this was just something I have always felt like a super pull to music, and now it's everything to me. When I was 17 I started playing on the guitar, and writing and it opened up this whole entire new world of processing my emotions

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. That's a tough one. We are all pretty lucky to have been put in a position to learn our instruments and start creating music at an early age. It's hard to pin point an exact time, moment or person but we all wrote music naturally in some capacity and once brought together with people we care about who had similar interests, the song writing and

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. Music was always around as I was growing up. My parents had the radio on almost all the time, especially in the morning when everyone was getting ready to go to work and school. The more music I listened to, the more I discovered that I loved great songs. The songs that give you chills down your spine or goosebumps. I loved the energy I got fro

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. As a small child, my parents offered me a small organ. When I was at this keyboard, I started to play, by ear, different music I heard, and very quickly, I tried to write my own melodies. This is when I realized I loved music creation. Later, I discovered a 60’s band called “The Doors”, and I was so attracted by their music and their sound that

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. I've pretty much always written music. Even long before I could actually play or sing, I always wrote songs just because I thought it was fun. That said, in late 2014, I had decided to do a high-school variety show for funsies, performing the song 'It Haunts Me' by Royal Bliss. Someone had taken a video of the performance and posted it on socia

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. Hmmm, I never thought about it this way, but I guess the pandemic lockdown was the trigger. My first EP was released in late 2020, and 2 of the songs on the EP are about my own vision of the world at that time. I pretty much poured all the anxiety, fear, and frustration I was feeling during the pandemic in my single “Sad”. I was only 12 years

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. The biggest catalyst for me starting to write music had to just be the desire to tell my own stories through song format. I had been producing music for years and as much as I loved producing instrumentals, I was fascinated with the story you could tell through lyrics. Instrumental music is very abstract and there was something about the direct

Was there something (an experience) or someone in your life that was the "catalyst" for you to start writing music? Tell us about it. Ever since I was a baby my mom sang and dance around me. I believe this is where my love and passion for making music began. At 4 years old my Pre-K music teacher Ms. Scully told my mom I was a good singer and recommended chorus classes. I received a music certificate stating I did well in music. That's really where I started to tend my craft
