Some people live to do their Music with an unbridled passion. Others feel they have to create, because it is the driving force in what they live to do. Still others are born to manifest and to create musically, because it lives in them on a Soul Level and they literally could do nothing else with their lives. They are "born" to "be" the Music, "do" the Music. These people "are" the Music and that is the thing they are destined to be.
