Time to share
I came to this country with this mentality of an artist who is hungry for performing and giving all my best to showcase the talent. I am blessed with many talents, singing, acting, dancing, writing and composing, directing as well, but I can not use them all at once and still be healthy. Some things in life we learn to outgrow them, I believe this is what is happening to me. I am allowed to be human after all.
I have grown to have a very sensitive ear to music of my preference, and I can differentiate the voice texture and quality. I can hear and discover a talent from afar. That is causing a bit of conflict in my abilities and willingness of being the one doing the performing part instead,but does not mean I don't enjoy doing it. Love for this to me will never change, but the focus strength of my love is being molded into something better and more unique. Over the years I co written songs, poems and musicals with different people. I have directed and choreographed theater pieces and music videos. That does not make me an expect but a well experienced somebody.
Coming to this country that lacks the kind of music that I know, grew up with and even learned is a very challenging experience. The language that most of the up coming fresh from the school artist here are speaking, is the very same language they don't want to sing. It is incredible the mind set of the most people I have met and had conversations with around here in these few years. The mentality of this industry is set by the people who runs the business. That makes it is very hard for an artist to survive in a world of money and reputation.
I am writing about this so that maybe you might have an understanding of where my writings or compositions are coming from. Sometimes I can be commercial and most of the time I don't care just write what seem fit and feel perfect. I am sharing my life, my heart and my creativity with you so, I will be happy to hear from you also.
