Why do I love music ?
“Music is a big part of my life. It speaks to the soul. Music for me always sets the mood in the present time and ready’s the body for any future engagements. But mostly music transports me to memories in times past. It gives me an opportunity to escape reality and connect my mind with my inner feelings”. Music lasts forever when everything and everyone is gone”.
