First off, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to share my musical biography interview with you. I have many friends that would get a thrill out of seeing my biography on A&E. My life has been filled with many peaks and valleys, many hardships that I wish no one would have to face. I have not been graced with a beautiful life, but I feel that I have done the best with what I have got. The following list of songs is an attempt to capture my struggle through life, with them I will try to convey that struggle to you. In my life, I am not happy or sad, but I am joyous.

             I will start out with one of my childhood favorites, Lion King"s "Hakuna Matata." This song embodied everything that I wanted at this point in my life, the idea of absolute freedom, to have "No worries, for the rest of my days." This song was produced along with the motion picture in my early middle school years. This time in my life was not the pinnacle of happiness, to say the least. My parents had gotten separated when I was eight years old, and roughly five years later, finally completed the divorce. I needed to find something to get me through the pain. "Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase," too bad it does not work. A person living with the idea of having absolutely no worries is living in a dream world. As much as I wished that I could live in that world, I knew that lifestyle was not beneficial. It was then that I realized that I did not want to be the kind of person that song was referring to. If a person lives without worries, I feel that he never really lives. I also realized this type of person was more like a lounge lizard, who does not take responsibility for their actions. I tried to take responsibility, and it was not working. I found myself in troubled water and tried my best to swim through those distressed years. Then soon enough I was graced with a chance to cross a bridge in my life and put some of my hassles behind me.
