I'm a singer, songwriter.
I'm 16.
Growing up my parents took me to a lot of concerts and just really kind of exposed me to a lot of different genres of music.
I think music, like nowadays, sometimes it doesn't have as much like depth.
I can just really connect with more meaningful lyrics and more singer, songwriter style than I can with just stuff on the radio mostly, so... That's what I try to do with my music.
And a lot of my songs are just based on my personal experiences, but I like to try to also explore things from different perspectives and writing stories through music that are based on maybe people in my life and just try to get people to relate to it and...
