I am the self-proclaimed Sad Soul Songstress of the South. Whether that is a goal or a fact, I'll let you decide. Music has always been a significant part of my life. It connects people and emotions not just with its melodies but with skilled lyricism and word play.
In the 5th grade my English teacher taught me the importance of poetry. "Even if the reader doesn't understand, the poet had a purpose, a message, simply something to get off his chest." This insight resonated with me and inspire me to write poetry. But then, she also taught me that there's a rhythm to poetry that you have to discover. This peaked my interest even more. Music was a foundation in my upbringing. My father thought it was important that I know the classics from DJ Kool Herc to Prince. Because of this, I always had a respect for music. However, it wasn't until that English class that I really considered that I could create it. I had something to say, I had something to get off my chest, and I could do it through poetic lyricism. Since then, I continued writing poetry until stanzas turned into verses and choruses.
Welcome to the vision.
