After thinking about it a while, I was wrong when I said I had something to prove with my music when I honestly don’t, ya know? There are too many bands and artists trying to get themselves out there the best they can as if they have something to prove for themselves. You shouldn’t have anything to prove with your music. Just do it ’cause you love it. Who cares if people dislikes your music or if your music keeps getting ignored. It’s not the end of the world, ya know? Just keep making music ’cause that what you do.

If my upcoming songs still get ignored and don’t get the recognition they deserve… that’s okay. I’ll keep doing what I do. I don’t have to prove the world that I have talent and you shouldn’t either. After all those cover songs that I released and releasing that new original song — that stuff got some positive feedback — so that’s a “hint” that people might find that I do have something special with my music. I may think that nobody listens to my music but maybe other people beg to differ, ya know? You just gotta leave your ego at the door and let the music speak on it’s own. You never know who’s listening to your music and you never know who actually likes you out there. No matter if you’re the most hated musician on the planet… you will always get people who will believe in you.

If I don’t make the cover of Metroland or hit the big stages… I’m all good with that. I’ll just continue to play for the small amount of people who do support my music. I do have “fans” out there, believe it or not which is the whole point why I’m trying to push my music out there more.

I have big plans for my upcoming originals, though. I’m going to really focus on harmony and melody. Want the songs to be catchy and memorable. I’m also going to try writing shorter songs too ’cause I’m known to writing long songs. If you listen to a song like, “Leave This Place”, you notice that the song is kind of mellow and slow. Well, I plan on writing more songs like that. If I want to get more listeners, this is what I must do. I plan to write more fast and upbeat songs too. For the lyrics, I will write more autobiographical stuff and I’ll try writing some love songs too. I was never the one to write love songs and songs about women but I think I’m definitely gonna give it a try. I’ll still write songs about politics as well. Whatever ideas I can come up with in my head.

I will always try to make the best music possible, though.

I won’t force people to pay so they can listen to my music ’cause I always believed that music should be a free market. I don’t live under the delusion of being a paid music artist ’cause it’s a load of crock. If you make music, there’s nothing wrong with getting it out there however you want especially when you’re a local musician. You don’t need to sell your music ’cause you become sell-outs if you do. Don’t be desperate for money.

I’m not worried about getting thousands of fans. I’m happy with just a small amount of support I have now. That’s good enough.
