Over the years, I have been honing in my songwriting and production skills and techniques. This production was inspired by the works of Max Martin who is my idol. Recording this song went in stages. I began like any other song (messing around on the piano, hoping something good comes out). I had settled with an idea about a year ago and put it on the side while I was working on other songs. About six months ago I revisited that demo and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. At that time I was just picking up the guitar for the first time and wanted to heavily implement that into the song. That heavily changed the trajectory of the music and took it from a basic keyboard idea, into a full on catchy, funky, pop tune. The main aspects of the song that make it unique are the intro guitar line that appears throughout the song, the hard and rhythmic bass line in the chorus, and the ethereal bridge. I constantly sent the track to as many people as I could every time I added new elements and even now, it is not completely finished and I am excited to hear what the BACF has to offer for feedback. This song has been my baby that I have been sheltering, but its soon time to send it off into the world.

To me, creativity means an escape from the crazy world around me and a place where different people around me can come together on a common ground and make something special. It's a universal language but more than that, it's a feeling. One that I can't get enough of.
