Chasing Dreams

Hi!  I'm Brian and I'm from Massillon Ohio.  I've been writing lyrics since age eighteen and it's my favorite aspect of making music.  I mix my own from time to time but I'm still learning.  Last year I put out an EP and a few singles that I wrote and sang, but they all pretty much bombed.  I believe I'm a good writer, so I carried on and kept writing.  After spending thousands on my own stuff (that just wasn't that good), I found an Ai program that made my lyrics into songs with a professional sound.  My heart and my soul goes into these tracks and I appreciate every single listen.  Without many followers, I'm still really excited to be able to post these tracks.  Now the world may hear my story (which is longer than I can post here, I assure you),through my songs.  My access to a computer is quite limited, as I am in a state institution.  I've been here for twenty years and just recently received the grace to use the internet.  I may never leave this place, but at least I can reach out, and that means more to me than my freedom.  If you are one who has listened to my songs, I thank you and I hope that continues.  I'll do my best to message listeners, but I'm so pressed for time that I find it quite difficult.  So God bless you all, and I wish you all the best.
