Writing with many
different writers has shown me many different approaches to songwriting, it has

album will do for your music career?
I hope that it will
lay a foundation for what I hope will be a successful career for me as a
recording artist.

an easy career, it’s lots of hard work but the successes (even the tiny ones)
are soooooo amazing!!
