Music is something that has always been apart of my life. Growing up I listened to the likes of Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes and Rick James music with my father on his record player. Looking back, I believe those moments molded the music lover in me today. What I love about music, is that helps you feel good. If I am sad or feeling a little down, I can turn on music and instantly start to feel better.
