Everyone faces challenges from the fierce competition as well as the manipulative crooks that are rampant throughout the music business.

By the time I was six or seven-years-old, I had learned several techniques of how to use my voice and was able to choose the sound I wanted to distinguish myself, so I started writing songs on the piano.

I have been exposed to most musical genres and have learned how to tackle them effectively.

Pressure is high and jobs are at stake. There is nothing wrong with having commercial music to pitch for those situations, as well as for ad campaigns.

As a new artist you should ignore trends at all costs.

I have to say one of the lessons I learned is to always be prepared.

If you want to be a songwriter and place a song with a popular artist, then it's ok to follow the trends. This is mainly because many labels are afraid to take big risks on something that sounds too different than the status quo.
