I have loved music for as long as I can remember. Music isn’t just a hobby for me; it’s an art that I want to perfect. It’s a way people connect and thrive. There is a saying that, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away”, from Pablo Picasso. The moment I read this quote, I thought of my inspirational love for music. The purpose of my life is to hone my talent in singing and then to share it with others.
