What message or feeling does the artist hope to convey through their music?
I want you to be able to feel good while listening to my music. I would hope that you also relate to the things I’m saying. And that you have to go back and re listen to the bars I have in my songs to fully understand what I’m saying and why I said it. I would hope that they get chill vibes and also lit vibes from my music. And see that I really can make any type of music. And I would also hope that you can turn on this album while multitasking with whatever you’re doing and be able to listen to it through. And be able to play it while falling asleep because I often play my music to go to sleep. Not because it’s boring but because it has a nice vibe and is chill.
