I've made songs that generated more than 10K Views , wrote music for people & referenced alot of songs , co write songs to . I'm a artist first , but decided that to focus on just writing for people and be behind the scenes type of guy .. I discovered "Soundbetter" :)
As an artist it's great to be heard and be out there , people embracing your skills etc . But I know that there people who really love music and what who want to be heard but they can't seem to put together a verse , hook let alone entire song . I want to be the guy that helps them get there my dream is to be able to take care of my family nothing else and ima use my skills to do that .
I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
