Walking into the studio it was like any other day. Daylen introduce Chris, Kevin and I too Zaafir, and immediately we got crackin’ on a song. When the smoke cleared and everything was said and done, Zaafir then threw us a pitch. He told us he admired our ambition and was feeling our sound, so he offered we sign with 8th Republic. My initial thoughts were, “Wow! Here’s that golden opportunity we’ve been working so desperately for! This is surreal!”
Later that night Chris, Kevin, and I mulled over it together, gave it a week’s worth of contemplating, and finally reached a decision. Obviously it wasn’t a bad one. Our first meeting (the day we signed), I met the rest of the team and we clicked right off the bat. It was a new, rejuvenating experience for me and since we signed, my level of dedication improved 10 fold, and everything became that much official. With the realization of our potential – given that we signed under a label – it became safe to declare music as my career move. I’ve always wanted to do it but never had the resources necessary.
Call it a growth experience, because my outlook on life has changed since. Surrounded by the knowledge that my team withholds, and the guidance and support they provide, I feel I’m finally on the right track. From here it’s now a matter of what direction I want to go personally with my music, as I’m still discovering my element. I always knew I had the skill, but never felt as if I was in alignment with my abilities, and the reason for that was low self-confidence. It’s NOW that I’m realizing my real potential as a song writer, thanks to the repetitive positive feedback I’ve received from everyone. Music has finally found its place in my heart, meaning without a doubt in my mind, this is my purpose, this is my passion.
