Music is something that has been revered over countless years. Many individuals have different opinions on music, but overall, music generally makes people experience certain feelings at a heightened level. For me, personally, music is an entirely different animal. Words cannot describe how I feel about music, whether I'm listening to it or performing. Earlier this year, I got hired by Miramar Outlets in Fort Myers to be an entertainer. A week before my first performance, I contracted the flu and strep throat. As you can imagine, that was not the ideal situation seeing as to how I had to perform. However, I tried my best to stick it out and give the audience a good performance to the best of my ability. My point with that is this: I absolutely love what I do. Yes, it sucks to strain yourself if you have a job to do, especially if it's something that you're passionate about.

Since today is Mother's Day, after a couple songs, I would say something to honor the mothers walking by, sitting and watching me play, sitting at the various restaurant, etc. because I couldn't see my own mother on Mother's Day (she lives in California). I know it sounds slightly cheesy, but I missed my mother today more than ever before because she and I have an amazing relationship, and she would've loved it if she was out there watching me play and sing and hear the way I spoke about her to the audience. She has been there (along with my father) through the best and worst times of my experiences throughout life. I owe almost everything to them, and it adds fuel to my performances because they really enjoy a majority of the songs I cover, and anytime I sing certain songs, I think of the face my mom gives me when I sing those songs for her, my niece, and my nephew. As I said earlier, music moves people in many different ways and brings people together. With my own original music, I hope to not only put out good and catchy music, but music that people can relate to, feel in their soul, and connect with.
