It's not just about winning – it's about having fun and grabbing Steve Aoki's attention. 

Get ready for my high-energy rap song, 'Break on Through,' created specifically for Steve Aoki's music contest! I wrote this upbeat track to showcase my skills, determination, and creativity while having fun and grabbing Steve's attention. 

The lyrics reflect my personal struggles as an emerging artist seeking recognition on SoundClond. With catchy hooks and confident flows, I'm taking on the challenge and telling the story of the #AokiChallenge itself. 

Don't expect a conventional contest entry – this song is about standing out and showcasing originality. Join the movement, feel the energy, and who knows? Maybe Steve Aoki will take notice!

 
LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Yo, I'm stuck on SoundCloud, feelin' so alone
Got plays for days, but nobody's home
I'm uploadin', sharin', and promotin' too
But crickets chirpin', ain't nothin' movin', boo 

[Chorus]
I need a break, gonna share my sound
Get Aoki's ear, and turn it around
Enter the contest, gonna take the prize
Gonna shine so bright, gonna light up the skies 

[Verse 2]
Steve Aoki, I know you're out there
Listenin' for the next big share
I'm craftin' beats, spittin' fire flows
Got the game on lock, nobody knows 

[Chorus]
I need a break, gonna share my sound
Get Aoki's ear, and turn it around
Enter the contest, gonna take the prize
Gonna shine so bright, gonna light up the skies 

[Verse 3]
AokiChallenge, I accept the test
Gonna show the world that I'm blessed
With rhymes so tight, and production so sick
Gonna make the judges go wild, make 'em pick 

[Chorus]
I need a break, gonna share my sound
Get Aoki's ear, and turn it around
Enter the contest, gonna take the prize
Gonna shine so bright, gonna light up the skies 

[Verse 4]
I'm on the grind, 24/7 pace
Makin' music, leavin' my mark in this place
From underground to mainstream fame
Gonna make it happen, ain't nobody gonna claim 

[Chorus]
I need a break, gonna share my sound
Get Aoki's ear, and turn it around
Enter the contest, gonna take the prize
Gonna shine so bright, gonna light up the skies 

[Reprise]
AokiChallenge, it's my time to shine
Gonna light up SoundCloud, gonna make it mine
I'm comin' for the top, ain't nobody stoppin' me
Gonna make some noise, and set the industry free! 

[Outro]
SoundCloud, here I come
Gonna make some noise, and have some fun
Aoki, I'm comin' for you
Gonna win that contest, boo! BOO!

Songs for Social Change

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to listen.  
My name is Johnny, a lifelong musician and songwriter whose work is deeply rooted in the pursuit of justice, equality, and meaningful change. For as long as I can remember, music has been my voice, my weapon, and my sanctuary—a way to channel the frustrations, hopes, and dreams of a world in turmoil.  

My songs are a reflection of the turbulent times in which we live. They are anthems for the marginalized, the oppressed, and the forgotten—those who bear the weight of systemic inequality, poverty, and injustice. Through my music, I aim to amplify the voices of minorities, the poor, the sick, and the downtrodden, shining a light on the struggles they endure in a society that often turns a blind eye.  

At the heart of my work is a call to resist the oppressive grip of the billionaire class, whose unchecked power and greed have eroded the foundations of our democracy. My lyrics are a rallying cry, urging listeners to awaken to the realities of our world, to challenge the status quo, and to fight for a future where equity and justice are not just ideals, but realities.  

But my music is not just a critique of what is wrong—it is also a beacon of hope. I strive to inspire others to join the fight, to look in the mirror and confront the uncomfortable truths of our nation’s bloody history. Only by acknowledging the past can we begin to heal and move forward. My songs are a tribute to the dreamers and the activists who came before us, and a call to carry their torch into the future.  

Above all, I seek to honor the vision of John Lennon and countless others who dared to imagine a world of peace, love, and unity. Through my music, I hope to contribute to that vision.  

Thank you for listening, and thank you for being part of the movement for change. Together, we can create a world where justice, compassion, and humanity prevail.

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️
