Why I Decided To Start Making Music
Adam Carter

Music has always been what I loved since I could really understand it. I always loved the aspects of music and how the chords and songs are put together. I never knew how to really make music when I was younger but I always wanted to make a song. For the longest time in middle school, I would just do some covers and see where I could go with that.The first cover song I made, I released my 8th-grade year. The song was to this girl that I had feelings for, and I really didn't know what to say to her in person. So I wanted to let YouTube do the work for me. As cliche as that may sound, I felt that was the better way to go about the situation. But this was just the beginning of how I started to make music and why I decided to.

The reason I decided to pursue music is because I wanted to make something of myself. I first started recording songs my freshman year of high school in 2009. I wanted to start making music mainly because I was pretty depressed at this time. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin and I didn't know what to do. So I started writing songs to clear my mind and help me cope. I also wanted to start this music for my mother. My mother has provided for me, supported me with all my goals and aspirations, and has been through so much in her life. I just want to pay her back everything she deserves. Now that I am older I feel that I am so much better with my music and I have so much to talk about now. My wordplay, flow, and how I create my songs is so diverse and I love the sound that I am coming into. The main topics my songs really relate to are relationships, fallen flings, things that I want to recreate, or just life in general and my goals. Thus, far I am most proud of "Joint", a song you can find on Soundcloud under the handle "YangGang_AC".

At the end of the day, I just hope my dreams and aspirations with my own music can become a reality for me. I want to make my mother proud and set her up for life. I want to prove everyone wrong, to show that I have what it takes to make it. Music is my passion, the reason why I am in school and earning my degree and I hope everyone can take this ride with me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
