Honestly, if someone would have told me, that writing everyday, and making at least one beat a day, would help you find your style and allow you to become more comfortable with yourself as an artist. Also being a musician is a full time job, that when you first start off, your just waiting to get paid. Everything pays off in the end, but you have to be willing to put yourself out there and accept all forms of criticism.
Leonard : Where do we find you music / music projects?
And last but not least, you can find my upcoming releases, and released singles on Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, YouTube, And SoundCloud.
