I have always had a strong passion in music, however; growing up with asian parents, i have always been taught that music will hold no future in my career. My dreams towards music began to fade as words like “Sam, you need to be more realistic” cut me like a dagger. Playing drums used to be something that i could do daily but after i moved, there was no place for me to set up my drums. I felt like i couldn’t express myself anymore and with so much school, music just didn’t fit in my time table. Something was missing. It was then the closest person in my life, my grilfriend, Natalie, said “If you love music, do something about it. Find a way for music to come back into your life.” It was that day, i picked up the guitar and taught myself how to play. How to express myself in a new way. Music was back into my life, but i still felt as if something was missing. While watching TV, i stumbled upon an interview of Gio Escueta, an aspirings musician that graduated from my highschool a few years ago, talk about his dreams. “I was going to work daily, hating it. One day i took the step. I quit and began to start my music career. Even if i don’t make it, I know I’m doing what i love.” With those words, my dreams of being a rockstar was reignited. Thank you Natalie Suen and Gio Escueta.
