What do I do? I study business at Towson University. My parents studied it in Perú, so naturally I thought, "Why not go with what works?" And continue on that trend. Over the past few years, however, I've and the few around me have realized I have the potential to do more. To see more. To be more. A few years ago, thanks to the help of a special person, I discovered I have the ability to sing. I have a voice many say resembles Iron & Wine. They're not my favorite band, I've listened to many of their albums, but it's not my style or form of expression that I can truly connect to. Every thing Elliott Smith writes, however, I relate to 100 percent undeniably. I love him so much, I bought his "I 💙 Metal" t-shirt. I wear it mostly on gloomy days.
I just finished writing my first album. I wrote all 12 songs in 8 days after my first semester concluded. I'm struggling to record, however, because I'm too embarrassed with singing too loud and being heard. Today, however, I told myself I would go ahead and do it anyways. I shouldn't have to deny or shy away from my talent. I already have 3 songs recorded anyhow, and if I did the rest tonight, the album might just be ready to release tonight too.
I can't wait to share the album with you.
