I'm Not The Best At Speaking But Through Music It's Completely Comfortable. Music - It Takes Up A Lot Of My Time It Drives Me It Makes Me Who I Am. I Try To Live My Life A Little Differently To The Way Most People Think It Should Be Done. For Me Music Is Very Closely Linked To That. I Like To Try And Bring My Hopes And Beliefs Through That. What I Aim To Achieve Is For People Be Affected By My Music - In A Great Way A Way That Will Make Them Think About Where They're At. Something That Everyone Can Relate To.
