What is music to you? What does it give you?

I made a pact with myself when I was 8 that I would pursue happiness. This pursuit of happiness always leads me back to music in some way shape or form...It makes me feel like when I’m creating music, that’s when I’m being most honest with myself. I want to inspire other people to be that honest with themselves because it is a truly freeing experience.

What is the message you want to send with your music?
