What Does Music Mean To Me?
Ever since I was little, I loved to sing, and on my 10th birthday, I got a guitar. Teaching myself and continuing to pursue my passion, I’ve sung in school productions, participated in the Rockshop Bandquest a couple of times, and joined a school band. Now as I’ve gotten older, I continue to sing on the daily and play the guitar, but now, I do so on YouTube as well. Not only singing covers, but now writing my own lyrics and humming along to my own melodies.
Will I be the next Taylor Swift? No, probably not. And quite frankly, I don’t really want to. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to create and express myself. Music has been one of the main ways I express myself—the good, the bad, and the ugly. I may not be the next big star, but one thing I love about music is that it connects you with others no matter the language, or background, or history. We as humans all feel deeply, which can come as a blessing and a curse. But it’s what makes us real and alive. I create music not only to express myself, but to connect with others. Because no matter what I’m going through, I know there’s someone else out there who feels the exact same.
And what’s better than bonding and finding comfort through something as universal as music? For me, it’s never been about fame or chasing perfection, but about honesty. Every lyric I scribble down in a notebook, every melody I hum absentmindedly, it all comes from a real place inside me. Music has always been my safe space—the place where I can let out the words I sometimes can’t say out loud, or capture the feelings I don’t fully understand yet.
Over time, I’ve realized that even the simplest song can mean so much to someone else. A line that I thought was just me venting might end up being the exact words someone else needed to hear. That’s the beauty of it: we’re all just humans trying to make sense of our own stories, and sometimes, those stories overlap in the most unexpected ways.
So whether I’m singing a cover of a song I love or sharing something I wrote late at night when my thoughts wouldn’t let me sleep, my hope is always the same—to connect, to comfort, to inspire, and maybe even to remind someone that they’re not alone. Because at the end of the day, music is more than just sound. It’s a thread that weaves us together. And if my little pieces of music can be a part of that bigger tapestry, then I feel like I’ve done something worth sharing.
