I just want to say thank you for taking the time to check out the demo.. and more so for all the feedback. Of course, there’s so much more to the story that I can elaborate on, but the song would probably end up being Avatar running time. When I was looking for beats, one of the first to pop into my mind was Em’s “Beautiful”. Once I sat down with it, right away I said to myself, “I have to write a story to this.” As I started, it was going pretty smoothly all the way up until about 60% near completion.. Then I caught the meanest case of writer block ever. Not that I couldn’t think of anything to write. The problem was it just wasn’t unfolding how I wanted to. I let it sit for a few days and went back to it. Still no luck. The moment before I recorded the video is when I literally just finished it.

Looking forward to going into the studio to record the actual thing. :)

“Say Something” Mixtape – Coming Soon.

    glad to see you humble yourself. Ben Franklin once said, a man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle. hold your head. all the best.

    the “beautiful” track was on point.

    sometimes, some days… it just comes to you when it does… and when it does, it’s beautiful.
