Music and how its influenced me...

many of you may not know, but i love music. so it influences me to make my own, listen to everything, and most importantly stay in tact with how i was raised. music is a huge part of my dads side of the family. My grandfather, Frankie Beverly has shown and taught me so much about the music world. im only 17 so i wasnt around for all of his musical years. he basically let me know that you gotta be strong to be in the industry bcuz not everybody is made for it. criticism is a huge part of music especially independent. so if someones not feelin my shit i dont get upset i just think of ways i can be universal with my music.
