Why I'm a musician

 Being a musician is more than just a job or hobby for me, it's a need. It's something I just have to do, like breathing. It's how I express myself and make sense of the world.


As someone who's neurodivergent and deals with mental illness, making music is especially important. It's a way for me to take all the feelings and thoughts swirling around in my head and turn them into something real and beautiful. Playing an instrument or singing is like therapy for me, helping me cope with stress and anxiety.


But it's not just about me. Music is a powerful way to connect with others. It's a universal language that can break down barriers of race and culture. When I play a song and people connect with it, it's like we're speaking the same language. It creates this emotional bond between us and it's amazing.


Being a musician also gives me a sense of purpose and fulfillment. I get to share my talents with the world and make a difference in people's lives. Seeing someone's face light up when they hear a song that speaks to them, or watching a crowd sing along to one of my songs, it's indescribable.


Now, I'm not going to lie, it's not always easy. There's rejection and failure, but the need to make music is too strong to ignore. It's a part of me, and I can't be truly happy or fulfilled without it. Plus, making music helps me navigate the challenges of my neurodivergence and mental illness.


All in all, being a musician is more than just a job or hobby for me, it's a need. It's how I express myself, cope with life and connect with others. It gives me purpose and fulfillment and helps me navigate the challenges of my neurodivergence and mental illness.
