Sounds Like: First and foremost I am a musician by fate, not choice. Those who know me and see the way that I am able to connect and interact with music see how deep it lives within my soul and how great it affects my overall character and being, for many past lives and many past wives now. It goes beyond putting on some headphones, listening to a song, feeling a connection, and being able to relate. There's a difference between music heads and musicians. What makes me a musician is the ability to express myself in every musical way (that I can) possible through rhymes, songs, beats, dance, mixes, djing, composing, playing by ear, beatboxing, being in the studio, performing, and creating music anywhere with anything. Some habits coming naturally while others developed through practice. As the years progress I find/learn/experience more and more ways to cultivate this passion through alternative forms of musical expression, developing and enhancing my innate passion to an overwhelming kind of love that gets you feeling so fuckin high it's incredible. The options and paths to musical creativity are infinite as I continue to develop a deeper sense of musicality within my own mentality. When I'm grindin' on a song, don't be surpised if I'm iggin you and get in the zone because I won't stop until I'm content with the sound or unless a part of the song is complete, if not the whole song. My homies can tell you this. So don't just call me a rapper or the girl from Seattle that raps. I am a musician, a musical innovator. See me entirely in my element and I'll give you something worth listening to. I promise. ;]
