Why I love music: I love music first and foremost because it sculpted me into who I am today. It gives me a joy that few things in life bring. It’s a pick me up .. it breaks me down .. it constantly plays with my emotions. I guess it’s kind of like a serious relationship with a girl.
Why I play music: I play music because I love playing drums .. especially with my best friends. It is such a huge passion for me, I love entertaining people and being able to have a job where I can be completely myself all hours of the day. Mainly, I hope I can use this career as a positive influence and segway for bringing joy to kid’s lives.
It’s also really fun playing music cause it is a challenge for me, it doesnt come natural. It has taken so much dedication, time & work to be able the learn drums and play them for a living today.
Why I love you: The reason anyone makes it in the music industry is because of fans. They are the buyers, listeners, supporters .. the machine that literally runs a band. A band can have all the money in the world & all the right connections but without the fans they are nothing.
Since Forever fans are of a different breed. We love them like brothers & sisters .. it’s such a different connection. There is no awkwardness, no hidden status line of fan vs artist .. it is just a very special relationship. They do so much for us & bring us so much daily encouragement. They have helped us win contests, blown up our name on social medias, shown up to all of our shows .. there is no way to ever repay them for all they do for us. LOVE THEM!
