Quotes about song
song rap writing

song art ideas
My art is not limited to the songs I create but also to the reaction it creates. I like to sit back and look at the whole thing as if it's a tornado that I'm controlling. It's creating chaos.

At the end of the day, that's all what I want to offer people. Michael Buble
song reading thinking
I was reading a Time magazine interview with an author named Brené Brown. She said, "People that fail seem to ultimately do the same thing they think works over and over again."
