Interview:

The power of music surrounds us. We are constantly bombarded with music in our every day lives, and it does not necessarily have to come from your iPod or radio. The sounds we hear every day have a musicality to them. It may be a car engine, machinery at work, or something as simple as your heartbeat. They all have rhythm, tone, and notes that are represented within them. Music is something that burns deep within your soul. Whether it is creating music or just listening to music. There is a feeling that is hard to match when you have been touched by a song or musical piece. It is almost euphoric in a way. So many emotions and feelings can be expressed and felt through music. Also, music accompanies and compliments other art forms such as movies and dance. Think of how boring a movie would be without the musical score. Music is a gift that should be shared. My music collection is priceless, and so many artists have made a difference in my life with their music. To create music and share it is such a blessing. Music makes me feel that I am part of something bigger than myself. I believe music is so powerful; it brings us closer to God because it is a gift from Him. In the Bible, God used music to shake and crumble the walls of Jericho. God gave music for expression, faith, and growth. It helps us identify and relate to each other through good times and bad. When a song really touches you enough to give you that warm feeling inside, and tears start to flow because you are so moved by the music; you may just be close to the feeling of being in Heaven.

“Music is a gift that should be shared… To create music and share it is such a blessing. Music makes me feel that I am part of something bigger than myself.”
